Plastering | Harling | Cement Work
My Background
I started my apprenticeship in 1976 with a local builder and quickly learned that there was more to the plastering craft than I’d first imagined!
I was particularly drawn to the decorative and ornamental plasterwork, which led me to college where I earned a distinction in my City & Guilds Qualification.
It has always intrigued me how the craftsmen of yesteryear set out their work to achieve such outstanding and durable works of art, and it is their skill and attention to detail that inspires me to keep my own work to the standards that they have set.
My Work
Whether the project is a new and modern building or the sympathetic restoration of an older property I always aim to give the project the best attention to detail possible to leave as high a standard of workmanship as I can.
I enjoy working with clients to bring their ideas and aspirations to fruition and help them obtain the results they desire.
For me there is nothing more satisfying than a happy client who is pleased with my work and the way I’ve carried it out.
Second To None
I have worked with Paul Crosbie on a number renovation and extension projects in Edinburgh and East Lothian over the last 8 years including external rendering and internal plasterwork. I have always been very happy with the quality of his workmanship. His skill at repairing and replicating decorative cornice work to seamlessly blend with the existing has been second to none.
True Professional
Paul is a true professional and at the top of his game in traditional cornice works. He has restored countless properties as part of our team to exacting standards and constantly exceeds expectations. His can do attitude is vital to delivering for our clients and with the extensive plaster works that work seamlessly alongside his decorative cornice works, we have no hesitation in recommending him.
Top Quality Tradesman
I’ve had the privilege of employing Paul Crosbie plastering on multiple projects going back more than 25 years,I have always found him to be knowledgeable articulate and professional in all aspects of his trade. his finishing and attention to detail is outstanding and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top quality tradesman
Attention To Detail
We have used Paul for many jobs now and quite frankly would never think of using anybody else. His attention to detail and level of craftsmanship is always of the highest standard.
As well as wall and ceiling plastering he has made some outstanding centre pieces for two of our rooms as well as repaired water damaged cornicing. He will give advise on what will work well in a room and everything is made bespoke.
The finished product is always beautiful! We have been delighting with every piece of work he has done for us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anybody.
Master Craftsman
Paul is a master craftsman who has worked with us on numerous restoration projects in listed buildings since the early 1990’s. He can turn his hand to almost any plasterwork, but is particularly skilled at matching and recreating ornamental cornices. I would thoroughly recommend working with him.
Impeccable Finish
As a main contractor, using the best tradesman available is invaluable to me. After 23 years in the building industry I have yet to meet anyone that comes close to the standard of Paul.
From His impeccable finish of plaster and cornice work to his depth of knowledge that comes only with many years experience.
Paul continues to deliver first class results on time every time on my projects and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Stunning Results
I recently commissioned Paul to work on a complex cornicing project in a listed New Town apartment. He took great care with the work and produced a stunning result. He was very helpful in coming up with suggestions throughout the project and was a true gentleman to work with. I look forward to working with him in the future.
Highest Standards
I have known Paul Crosbie for over 35 years, we have worked closely together on many building projects, new build, renovations and period buildings, where we have had the opportunity to work on some very prestigious buildings.
Paul’s knowledge of ornamental cornice and moulded ceiling panels are second to none.
He also stands out with plastering, render and harling works to the highest standards.
He is always very punctual and happy to help out with advice from the beginning and throughout the whole project.
Its always a pleasure to work with such a perfectionist.
Dedication To The Job
I’ve worked with Paul on various projects for a number of years and he has always shown a high standard of workmanship, experience of both historic and more contemporary projects, and dedication to doing a good job. Paul is also very reliable and approachable.
Plastering
Although I specialise in ornamental work, I believe that everyday plastering deserves the same care and attention to detail as the more ornate projects.
If the project is a new build or modern design I strive to leave the best possible finish
