Lee Collins Plastering Renovation, New Builds, Rendering, Skimming, Decorative Coving and Artexing. Rendering gives a flat and level surface to skim or tile.

Renovation:
Old buildings may require refurbishment to give a sound surface for decorating. Depending on the age of the building, work will be carried out under the guidance of local conservation and planning departments using traditional methods. Surfaces covered: walls, ceilings


New builds:
We apply finishes to new walls using gypsum based plasters onto brick/block walls or ‘dot & dab’ techni

ques using plasterboard. We always chose the best process for the specific project, which will be agreed with the customer beforehand. Surfaces covered: walls, ceilings

Rendering:
This is the application of either gypsum based plaster or a sand & cement mixture to brick / block walls. Surfaces covered: walls

Skimming:
Topcoat plaster is applied to finish plasterboard, rendered walls or existing walls (once sealed) providing a smooth, seamless surface ready to receive decorative treatment using wallpaper or paint. Skimming is an easy, cost effective way of covering cracked / un-sound surfaces ready for decorating. Surfaces covered: walls, ceilings

Decorative finish – coving, cornice, corbel / console:
Using traditional skills to complement your building's architecture, we can put in a new instalment or repair existing coving and cornices. This is a highly skilled technique which we have developed over number of years. Due to their nature, we always install new corbels. Surfaces covered: walls, ceilings

Artexing
We're usually asked for most artexing styles/patterns to go on ceilings, but still also asked for walls as well. If you already have an artexing pattern on your ceilings or walls, we can re-skim the surfaces first and then apply your new chosen style/pattern of artex. If your ceiling has cracks or imperfections, artex is a great way to smarten up your ceiling. There are many designs to choose from, comb finishes to very subtle textures.

Next time you call a self employed tradesman for a quote, and he gives you one, and you think...
Jesus. That's expensive. Remember this.
He (or she) has given up probably a couple of hours of time, and used fuel to get to your house to give you a free quote . He's trained for a few years to learn skills and honed those skills ever since. Gained experience he will be able to use to give you free advice.
Spent probably thousands of pounds of his money on tools to do his job. Paid for insurance so that if anything goes wrong your property is protected
He doesn't get holiday pay.
He doesn't get sick pay, he doesn't get bonuses or a company pension.
He knows if you picked his card up from a building merchants, you picked three or four others up too, so he knows he has to be competitive.
He works hard to pay his bills and put food on his table.
He's not trying to rip you off.
He's trying to make a living.
Not a fortune.
