Excellent work to repair what I thought was lathe and plaster ceiling. It isn’t. Bruce told me that it is Norfolk Reed and plaster! They did an amazing job and there was no mess ...... all round brilliant service. …
We’ve used Maltby plastering to bring our clay lump cottage back from being suffocated with modern materials to allowing it to breath again. … their workmanship is second to none when it comes to lime plastering. Their knowledge of historical buildings knows no bounds … it’s great to see them working together through 3 generations.
