MD Plastering

I am really impressed with MD Plastering. Martin was a great help and has an incredible wealth of knowledge on repointing and lime plastering. He was more then willing to this pass on and assist me with the issues I had with my wall. He went above and beyond to ensure I had all of the information I required and I will certainly be turning to them in future should I require any further work.

We live in an old listed cottage in St Hilary. I contacted Martin for some small repairs. He was busy with larger projects but spent a considerable time advising and suggesting how I could correct matters - at no charge. A very pleasant and knowledgeable man with a love of old buildings. I followed his advice with results I am proud of.

MD plastering were engaged to re-plaster a ground floor chimney breast in our Grade II listed Rhiwbina house. Coal mortar removal is a horrible job, but the team minimised the mess, keeping our house as clean as possible during the work. Waste was carefully bagged and left in an agreed location for customer removal. They are a friendly, polite and considerate team. We were kept fully informed during the work and included in discussions when decisions were needed. We were happy to leave them the house keys when we unexpectedly couldn’t be there. We are very happy with the lime plaster work and would use MD plastering again for any further work.

? I've used this company numerous times and can honestly say they were fantastic. Very clean from start to finish, punctual, very informative also, Would highly recommend thanks Guys keep up the good work. ? .

MDP Heritage and Artisan lime pointed the front and rear of my property in Llandaf. They have extensive knowledge and experience of working on old buildings. The work was of an excellent standard and the mortar colour chosen highlights the colour of the original stone perfectly.

I worked with Martin and Dai on a Grade 2* listed school refurbishment that included a variety of different, challenging conditions utilising lime plaster and included the remodelling of mullions, transoms, sills and heads around new and refurbished tracery windows. MD Plastering's expertise, care and attention to detail was exceptional throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending their services and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Having run a wide range of projects and worked with many plasters, I have found MD Plasters to be very professional in their approach, their wide range of knowledge, and the care taken with the grade 2 listed building they have worked on as part of our team. Their attention to detail is truly commendable, and they consistently deliver high-quality craftsmanship. The team at MD Plasters demonstrates not only technical expertise but also a genuine passion for preserving the historical integrity of structures. Their commitment to traditional techniques makes them a standout choice for any restoration or renovation project. I wholeheartedly recommend MD Plasters for their reliability, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to producing outstanding results. Steve Dean Contracts Manager Eden London UK |Ltd.

I can highly recommend MDP. Martin has a very wide range of knowledge on conservation projects and practices The work is impeccable and the use of natural products increases the benefit for the end user Julian Site Manager @ Howells School refurbishment project.

Martin has carried out many jobs during the renovation of my Edwardian house including plastering, ceiling work, and pointing bricks. All very good quality and service, would recommend!

The work we have had carried out by MD plastering on our fireplace reflects the years of knowledge and experience they have. I knew I had right people for the job at our initial meeting. I felt very confident about having the work carried out. The team were professional, punctual, and very careful and considerate to our home during the process. I didn’t think the fireplace could look this Impressive. The damp caused by the cement is now disappearing as it can breathe with the correct materials. It’s the heart of our home and I look forward to having MD Plastering work on the next stage of our renovation. I’d highly recommend.

Worked around other contractors to repoint chimney, repoint front of house and stripped cracked cement from abutments and re-rendered, using breathable lime-based materials throughout. Was friendly and helpful, clearly explained options and answered any questions I had. All work completed to a high standard.

I have used Martins services on several occasions over the last few years. He has provided long term solutions to long term problems. His enthusiasm and energy, and his expertise in the use of lime products. Has certainly created excellent results. .

Martin parged a garden wall for us in 2022 using traditional methods and materials. He and his co-worker Dai were really helpful, pleasant, hard-working and tidy and did a lovely job for us. Martin gave us lots of advice and helped us to keep the costs down by showing us how to do some of the laborious jobs ourselves. It was a pleasure to have them both working at our house.

MD Plastering used breathable materials to (1) allow the bay window to breath, thereby mitigating against damp; and (2) transform the boundary traditional stone wall, parts of which could not be left unrendered, into something really visually appealing. We used Ty Mawr lime render and richly pigmented earthborn paints for the latter (F&B for everything else). 4 years later with zero maintenance, and the work on both areas still looks great and performs. Not only is the work first class but Martin’s knowledge and enthusiasm for lime and clay is infectious. Martin did everything he said he would do and I found him a real gentleman (very trustworthy).

Excellent work, super professional and would absolutely use again. 5 stars.

Martin replastered a basement wall and repointed two chimneys, using lime based products. He is very knowledgeable about period buildings and takes pride what he does. This shows in the quality of his work.

I'm pleased to share my positive review of Martin, who consistently demonstrates impressive work in our home. Our experience with Martin has been outstanding as he has worked on multiple projects in our house, including lime plastering our living room, dining room, and home office. Martin's dedication to his work is evident in the excellent quality that he consistently achieves. Our lime plastered rooms have a timeless elegance and precise finish that exceeded our initial expectations. In addition to his skill, Martin is very approachable and willingly engages in helpful conversations. He provides reliable and invaluable advice on various projects we've considered. We have upcoming plans for our bedrooms and the specialised task of raking and liming our chimney stack and front wall. We look forward to working with Martin on these future projects as part of our home improvement journey. We're confident in Martin's abilities and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality work.Moreexpand_more

From start to finish, Martin was fantastic. He’s plastered our whole house, re-rendered our gable wall, exposed two fireplaces and repointed the brickwork, and repointed our garden wall. And everything was done to the highest standard. He’s not a ‘slap it on’ sort of tradesman. You can tell he really cares about the finish and it shows. He’s also a total gentleman, very kind and patient, and the whole process has been a pleasure. Diolch Martin!

I have nothing but good things to say about MD Plastering. When we first bought our house, Martin came in with his expertise in old properties, and advised us on how to get rid of damp that was lingering in our walls. He plastered our whole house, and has such a fine eye for detail, and cares about the finish of every bit of work. A slightly curved bit of the wall was plastered organically keeping the curve, and to this day it brings me so much pleasure. Years have passed now since this initial work, and it all looks as wonderful as ever. Martin has recently returned to do some work externally, to aid with a crumbling wall which was letting in damp. His advice is second to none, his company is lovely, and the work is always of such high quality. I love the fact that he always thinks long term, and uses breathable, high quality products which seem to me to be better for the building, and the environment. Can't wait to paint our exterior wall which had a parge finish - and see the texture of it all come alive. All in all - wonderful.Moreexpand_more

From first contact until completion - a truly professional, friendly and first class service. Lots of useful advice given from Martin who is passionate about his work. He is hugely knowledgeable and a true specialist. Requirements and options were fully discussed and explained prior to the work being agreed. Work included lime repointing to front of house, a side garden wall lime rendered and coated with clay paint as well as a beautiful stone wall built in keeping with the character of the property. I cannot recommend Martin highly enough!
