Time served plasterer, Durham
Smooth walls.
Straight ceilings.
A tidy house after.
Elders Plastering covers all of the North East from Newton Hall, Durham. Bedrooms, kitchens, ceilings and the difficult walls, done properly and left neat and tidy.
What I plaster
Any job, big or small. From a single damaged wall to a whole kitchen ahead of the fitters, it gets the same care and the same finish.
Rooms and walls
Bedrooms, living rooms, utility rooms and hallways plastered properly, with sockets and switches boxed out and the floor sheeted before a trowel comes out.

Ceilings and artex covering
Tired or textured ceilings skimmed flat. Old artex covered over so the room finally gets a smooth, clean ceiling ready for paint.

Difficult and damaged walls
Uneven, patched or awkward walls brought back to a true, even surface. The jobs other people walk away from are the ones worth a call.

Kitchens before the fitters arrive
Every wall and ceiling re-plastered on your timeline, so the new kitchen goes in on schedule. Short notice is not a problem when it can be fitted in.
Whole kitchen done ahead of a new fit
Bathroom preparation
Boarded and meshed walls and freshly skimmed ceilings, prepared so the tiler and the decorator have a sound surface to work on.

One kitchen, start to finish
A whole kitchen, ready for the fitters on time
Sophie needed every wall plastered and an artex ceiling covered before her new kitchen arrived, at short notice. These are her own photos, before and after.
Before
After“Really excellent from start to finish. I needed my entire kitchen plastering in time for a new kitchen being fitted in a few weeks. Stephen came over really promptly when I enquired and gave me a quote. He asked questions about what I was looking for and explained what was possible. He was also really accommodating given the short notice of my enquiry. The work included all the walls and covering of an artex ceiling - this has now been done and I'm so pleased with how it's turned out. Stephen was friendly, tidy and it looks great. Many thanks again.”
