“Sean”
Sean has worked full time as a self-employed Plasterer since leaving school in 1981 – he learnt his trade as a modern plasterer with a local contractor and then started his own business. In 1995 he started attending courses to learn about traditional methods and materials and since then he has become a highly respected tradesman who has an impressive portfolio of projects to his name.
Sean teaches and demonstrates for SPAB and RICS and also is involved in CPD days for some local traditional material suppliers. He feels that it is vitally important to preserve traditional skills and over the years he has employed 8 young men as apprentices, 3 of whom are highly valued members of the current team.
In 2022 he was very proud to be accepted as a a Master Plasterer by The Worshipfull Company of Plaisterers.
Sean and his team have become very well known for the breadth of their knowledge, skill and attention to detail that they demonstrate in all aspects of their trade. Sean has very close contact with some well-respected firms of architects who call upon him – often for some incredibly prestigious and interesting projects, not only repairing or restoring historical buildings following damage ie Dartmouth, but also installing brand new decorative features to country houses belonging to private clients.
“Daniel”
Daniel has been employed by Sean since 2007. He also served a 2 year apprenticeship at Plymouth College and like Dominic he also has an excellent understanding of all aspects of his trade. Dan has been involved in all of our major heritage projects over the years but he is also skilled in modern plastering techniques. Daniel is an extremely reliable and valued team member and he can always be relied upon to drive a project forward with the utmost attention to detail.
Both Dan and Dom were fully involved in the 2 projects that won the FPDC awards for interior plastering in 2013 and 2014.
“Dominic”
Dominic has been employed by Sean since 2005. He served a 2 year apprenticeship at Plymouth College and he has an excellent understanding of his trade, both traditional and modern methods. Dom is very good at the detail that is required for the setting out of geometric and intricate patterns that we often have to repair or replicate.
“Jamie”
Jamie is the newest member of our team. He started work with us in 2020 and the following year he was also enrolled on an apprenticeship programme – this time at Barnstaple College. Although the college courses are predominately based on modern methods Jamie is also learning traditional and heritage methods on site so he will also be thoroughly trained in all aspects of the plastering trade.
