One plasterer per area. No auctions, no lead sellers – just a straight line to the person who’ll turn up and do the job properly.
You shouldn’t have to deal with a rush of calls from plasterers all trying to grab the same job. That’s how Bark and Checkatrade operate – and you rarely get the right specialist on the first try.
We don’t follow the platform model.
Our model is built around one plasterer per area throughout Durham. No auctions, no platform noise – just direct contact with the specialist who covers your patch.
Plastering jobs vary massively. Fixing a ceiling isn’t the same as skimming a room, and artex work is completely different again – so we’ve broken everything into simple sections.

The choice is yours. Here’s the practical, no-nonsense detail on plastering work across Durham homes.
Years on the tools in Durham means we’ve worked pretty much everywhere – from Durham University colleges across to Durham Cathedral and over toward Durham Castle. We understand the area’s properties and the exact plastering challenges that come with them.
Our work covers the full range of plastering – from fast patch repairs after leaks to complete room re-skims, artex flattening, stud walls, and commercial projects. Pick the service that matches your job above, read through, and decide if it’s right for you.
The typical homes across Durham are Victorian terraced and college buildings, featuring ceilings that range from 2.5m to 2.9m (8.2ft – 9.5ft). We’ve worked on that exact mix for years – we know exactly how the plaster behaves and what’s needed for any job in these homes.
We regularly fix blown plaster around features, cracked walls from settling or wear, and tired textured finishes that are ready for removal. In more modern or compact spaces the work tends to be patching leaks, impact damage, and clean skims to update rooms.
