Plasterer in Ealing
Steve Bradley has been plastering for forty years and works out of Hanwell, so Ealing is about as local as it gets. Walls, ceilings, renders, brickwork and painting, all covered.
Ealing is a five minute drive from the yard, which is why so much of the work ends up here. Most weeks it is a mix of two things: period ceilings that have started to go, and homeowners part way through an extension who need the whole lot skimmed before the decorators come in.
Steve does not send a stranger round. He looks at the job himself, tells you what actually needs doing rather than what would be easiest to sell you, and his apprentice works alongside him on site. If a repair will hold up fine, he will say so instead of quoting you for a full re-plaster.
The kind of properties we work on in Ealing
A lot of Ealing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and behind the paint those ceilings are usually still lath and plaster. When one starts to sag, crack in long lines or sound hollow when you tap it, that is the horsehair plaster letting go of the laths above. Some of it can be re-fixed and patched. Some of it is past saving and wants taking down and boarding properly.
Around Ealing Common and the Pitshanger streets there is more of the big interwar stock, wide semis and detached houses with pebbledash or roughcast fronts. That render takes a beating from the weather on the exposed elevations, and it is very common to find blown sections that sound drummy but look fine from the pavement.
Then there are the mansion blocks and converted flats near the Broadway, where the work is usually smaller and tighter: one room skimmed, a hallway made good after a leak from the flat above, a bathroom wall taken back and re-done.
What Ealing customers usually call about
- Lath and plaster ceilings cracking, bowing or coming away after a leak
- A new extension or loft conversion that needs the whole thing skimmed and ready to decorate
- Pebbledash and render patched where it has blown off the front or the gable end
- Old brick garden walls, front steps and bay window detail repointed
- One team to plaster and then paint, rather than juggling two trades

Not always. Steve will look at how much of the plaster has come away from the laths behind it. If the key is still good over most of the ceiling, a repair and a skim is often enough. If it is loose across a wide area, taking it down and boarding it properly is the sensible fix rather than skimming over a problem.
Matching a patch into an existing pebbledash or smooth render is standard work after forty years in the trade. Steve will look at the existing finish before he starts so the repair does not stand out.
Steve does not price a job he has not seen, and no two Ealing houses are the same. He comes out, looks at it, and gives you a proper price for the actual work.
