The plasterer behind the reviews.

ST Plastering & Rendering is Sean's business, based in Woodford Green and working across east London and west Essex. Walls, ceilings, Artex and rendering, quoted and done by the same people.

Sean has nearly 20 years’ plastering experience and has been working as ST Plastering & Rendering since 2018. He holds an NVQ Level 2 in Plastering and is City & Guilds Level 3 qualified. The business carries full public liability insurance, and every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Most of the work is in people’s homes: a ceiling, a room, or a whole floor after a rewire. Light commercial work is taken on too. A large share of new work comes from recommendations and from customers coming back, which is why so many of the reviews say second time, or third. In 2023, neighbours on Nextdoor voted it a Neighbourhood Fave for Best Home and Garden.

What customers write about most is not only the plastering, though that gets its share. It is that the house is sheeted up before anything starts and swept before anyone leaves, that the van turns up when it was meant to, and that the price quoted is the price paid.

The same faces, every job

No call centre and no sales team. The person who comes to look at your job and gives you the price is the person who plasters it, and the names on the reviews are the names at your door.

Sean

ST Plastering & Rendering

Nearly 20 years' plastering experience, City & Guilds Level 3 qualified with an NVQ Level 2 in Plastering. Sean comes to look at every job himself, and customers come back to him again and again — several are on their third job.

Daryl works alongside Sean on most jobs, which is why so many reviews thank two people rather than one.

Why people keep calling back

The ST Plastering & Rendering van
Woodford Green, Chingford, Loughton and across east London and west Essex.

A filthy trade, done cleanly

This comes up in more reviews than anything else. Floors sheeted, furniture covered, and the place swept before we leave. One customer thanked us for covering the books on the bookcase on the landing.

The price we quote is the price you pay

A fixed price after we have seen the job, not a guess from photographs. Customers write that we kept to the quote to the penny.

We turn up when we said

Punctuality is in review after review, going back six years. If we say Tuesday at eight, it is Tuesday at eight.

Most of our work is repeat and recommended

Second time, third time, and neighbours who saw the van. Several reviews are from customers on their third job with us.

How a job with us runs

  1. 01

    We come and look

    Usually within a day or two. We look at what is actually there, because photographs hide cracks, damp and blown plaster.

  2. 02

    You get a fixed price

    A price for the job, not a day rate that drifts. If something unexpected turns up we tell you before we do it, not after.

  3. 03

    Sheeted up, then plastered

    Floors, furniture and doorways covered before anything starts. Then boarding where it is needed, bonding, and skim. Most rooms are a day or two; a ceiling can be a morning.

    Cleared and swept

    Rubbish out, floors swept, and a look round together before we go. Give it a week or two to dry, then decorate.

What people ask before they book

Who will actually do the work?

Sean does. He comes to look at the job, he gives you the price, and he is the one plastering it, with Daryl alongside him on most jobs. They are the same two names you will see throughout the reviews.

Are you qualified and insured?

City & Guilds Level 3 qualified in plastering, with an NVQ Level 2 as well, and full public liability insurance. Every job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Is your work guaranteed?

Yes. Every job carries a 12-month guarantee. If something we did is not right, ring and we will come back and look at it.

How much mess does plastering make?

A lot, which is exactly why we sheet everything. Floors, furniture, doorways and anything we walk past get covered, and the place is swept before we leave. It is the thing customers mention most in reviews.

How much does plastering cost?

It depends on what is there rather than the size of the room — an Artex ceiling, a blown wall and a freshly boarded stud wall are three different jobs. We come and look, for free, and give you a fixed price for the work. No day rates that drift.
