Most companies that offer plastering will also carry out a range of related services including pebbledash & rendering, damp proofing, roofing work; fascias, soffits & guttering, ceilings, roofing, coving and artexing. So if you are having a lot of work carried out, whether building an extension or repairing after a severe fire or water damage, consider using the same firm for all the work, rather than splitting the project between multiple contractors trying to get the best possible price on every individual part of the job. Using multiple contractors may seem like a cheaper option, but on-site things can get complicated and there may be conflicts with different firms, leaving you with major headaches and extended completion dates.
