Why choose Express Plastering

20+ years on the trowel

Over twenty years in the trade, for homeowners, builders, contractors and architects. You deal with Michael, not a call centre.

Smooth, flawless finish

Glass-smooth walls and ceilings, ready for the decorator. Fully insured on every job.

Left as we found it

Michael's own promise: we leave it as we found it — cleaner, if anything. Floors sheeted, dust kept down, waste taken away.

Competitive pricing

Fair, competitive prices and a clear quote before any work starts — no hard sell.

What we do

Plastering and rendering — done properly.

From a single ceiling to a full house boarded, plastered and rendered — plus general building work. Domestic customers, and contract work for builders and architects.

Plastering & skimming

Walls and ceilings brought back to glass-smooth, ready for a mist coat. Over old plaster, fresh boards or bonding.

Dry lining & partitioning

Plasterboarding, dot and dab, stud partitions and MF ceilings — for extensions, conversions and new builds.

External rendering

Weatherproof, low-maintenance render that transforms a tired frontage. Full-house work welcome.

Internal rendering

Backing coats and float finishes on solid walls, ready for skimming or a decorative finish.

Coloured render systems

Through-coloured render — the colour is in the render itself, so there is no painting to keep on top of.

Artex removal

Swirled ceilings flattened for good — safely covered or taken off, then skimmed to a modern finish.

Patch repairs

Leak damage, blown plaster, cracks and holes — matched into the existing wall so you would never know.

Coving

Clean-lined coving fitted and mitred properly, so the join between wall and ceiling looks deliberate.

Full-property projects

Whole houses boarded and plastered, or rendered start to finish. Contractors, builders and architects welcome.

Building work undertaken

Michael also takes on general building work alongside the plastering and rendering. Tell us what you need and he will let you know if it is something he can do.

Honest pricing

How we price a job.

Every wall is different, so a price off the internet is a guess. Tell us about the job and Michael will give you a straight, competitive quote.

Free, no obligation

No pressure and no obligation. Send a photo on WhatsApp for a rough idea, or Michael can come and look properly.

Clear before we start

You know what the job involves and what it costs before any work begins.

No surprises

If something unexpected turns up once the job is under way, Michael talks it through with you before going any further.

Want a ballpark before you ring? WhatsApp a photo of the room or the wall and we will give you an honest idea of the range, free.

Meet your plasterer

Hi, I'm Michael. You'll get me — not a call centre.

I started my journey in plastering over 20 years ago, putting myself through night school to learn the trade and build a career doing something I could take pride in.

Since then, I’ve gained a wealth of experience working on all kinds of plastering and rendering projects. I believe in doing the job properly, paying attention to the little details and leaving every home clean and tidy.

For me, it’s simple — quality workmanship, honest prices and a finish I can be proud of.

Straight answers

Judge us on the work, not the words.

Plenty of trade websites run stock photos of somebody else's houses. Every job photo on this page is Michael's own work, taken on the job.

Every photo is a real job

No stock imagery. The before-and-after at the top of this page is the same house — one photo before the job started, one after it was finished.

Left cleaner than we found it

Michael's own promise, not a slogan: dust kept down, floors protected and the mess taken away. You shouldn't have to clean up after your plasterer.

Fully insured, both trades

Fully insured for plastering and rendering, and both done by the same hands, so nothing gets passed between trades.

How it works

From cracked to painted in four steps.

STEP 1

Free look & clear quote

STEP 2

Protect & prep

Floors and furniture protected, old surfaces prepared properly. Good prep is most of the job on a flat wall.

STEP 3

Plaster & polish

The work done properly, at the right pace. We don’t rush — we do it right — and you’ll know roughly how long it will take before we start.

STEP 4

Clean up & hand over

Waste taken away and the room left as we found it — cleaner, if anything — with advice on when it’s ready to decorate.

Good questions

Things people always ask.

How long until I can paint the new plaster?
A skim coat usually dries in 3–5 days in a warm, ventilated room — it turns from dark pink to pale pink when it's ready. First coat should always be a watered-down "mist coat" of matt emulsion; we're happy to talk you through it.
How much mess should I expect?
Less than you fear. We sheet floors and furniture, tape doorways on the dusty jobs like artex removal, and take every bag of waste with us. Michael’s rule is simple: leave it as we found it — cleaner, if anything.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
Clear small valuables and anything fragile from the room, and let us know about access and parking. Michael will mention anything else when he quotes.
Can you match a repair into the existing wall?
Yes — patch repairs are part of what we do. The new plaster is feathered into the old so that once it's painted, it blends in.
Do you work for builders, contractors and architects?
Yes. As well as homeowners, Michael works for builders, contractors and architects, and full-property jobs — whole houses boarded, plastered or rendered — are welcome.
What areas do you cover?
All of Staffordshire and the West Midlands. If you're not sure whether you're in range, just ring or WhatsApp and ask.
