About the company

Plastering Art is a South London-based plastering company with over 30 years of experience in the design and manufacture of standard and bespoke mouldings for internal and external use. The company specialises in fibrous plaster and manufactures cornice and coving mouldings in a traditional way using hessian (canvas) timber or glass reinforced gypsum (GRG). It repairs cornices that are cracked, damaged or missing casting plaster.

Plastering Art supplies and fits decorative columns and pilasters for internal and external use, as well as door surroundings and architraves. It also supplies and fixes a wide range of panel mouldings and dado rails. The company creates custom made exterior mouldings and is experienced in working with prestige and historical buildings. For exterior products, it uses a special cement compound called Fibrecem, reinforced with galvanised steel, which are screw fixed.

Plastering Art works with GRG (Glass Reinforced Gypsum), Fibrous Plaster (Plaster of Paris), Fibercem Exterior Cement and GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester). It can match any existing cornice, enriched or plain, internal or external, and where appropriate uses rubber mouldings to make a special mould for the cornice. The company provides a fully guaranteed fixing service. Its main services are the design and manufacture of standard and bespoke decorative interior and exterior mouldings, including cornices, ceiling roses and bespoke mouldings.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Plastering Art is a plastering firm whose customers consistently highlight the skill and care brought to decorative plasterwork. More than one review highlights Bob, often alongside Omar and Ron, as central to the experience. Several describe how the team reinstated original Edwardian cornicing, panels and spin circles after a ceiling collapse, matching new work to existing patterns so precisely that the join is impossible to detect.

Others write about fitting coving and ceiling roses, replacing damaged corbels above a front door, and casting bespoke sections to curve around a hall corner. Customers describe the finish as excellent and the pace impressive, with one job completed in five days from the first enquiry. A detail many reviews return to is the value delivered for the quality of the craft, alongside tidy working and clear communication. When a problem arose during one repair, it was resolved without fuss.

Reviewers also appreciate the advice given on moulding designs, with one customer changing a bedroom scheme after a suggestion and being delighted with the result. The team is described as polite, dependable and genuinely passionate about traditional plasterwork. Restoration of aged corbels for a period property, carefully cleaned and refitted, is among the projects that customers recall with particular warmth.

Bob and his team recently installed ornate coving in our flat, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, the team was incredibly friendly and approachable, making the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Their communication was excellent throughout, they kept us informed at every stage, answered all our questions clearly, and were always quick to respond. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. The coving has been installed with great precision and care, and the final result looks absolutely beautiful. It has completely transformed the space and added a real sense of character and to our home. Bob and his team also worked very efficiently, completing the job to a high standard within the agreed timeframe. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. We wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again in the future.

I cannot recommend Plastering Art more. Great attention to detail, good value for top end quality... and they work hard + fast! Bob, Omar + Ron were a dream team helping us reinstate our original Edwardian cornicing, panels + spin circles, matching them perfectly, after our ceiling collapsed. I loved their service so much, I'm now thinking of adding more to other rooms in the house. Thank you all of you!

I’ve booked in with Bob for a second time and he is just the best! Such a sweet man, reasonably priced and a great job done every time. I live on my own and sometimes feel nervous having tradesman in the house when it’s just me, but Bob is just such a gem and always makes me feel comfortable ❤️ thank you as always!

Highly recommend. Bob did a fantastic job in putting in original style cornicing, corbels and ceiling roses in my house for my renovations. I have used Plastering Art twice, the first time I needed to match exactly the pattern of the existing cornicing in my lounge. Bob and his team did a great job and you cannot tell what is new and what is old. In my bedrooms he suggested a better cornicing design and I absolutely love it, the rooms look a million times better and I’m so glad I put it in. See photos attached. Bob has a very artistic eye and is skilled at the craft. They fitted it quickly and were clean and tidy. The finish was excellent, and I had a decorator comment on how well they had fitted it and no joins visible etc. Would recommend and will definitely use them again for further renovations.

Boub and his team have fitted coving and ceiling roses in two of our rooms. They are real craftsmen, excellent value and the coving absolutely lifts the room.
