A small team that plasters every wall itself

Sallowmead Plastering is a team of three based in Tring. We have been skimming walls, replacing ceilings and rendering houses across west Hertfordshire since 2011.

Everyone who works in your home is employed by us. We do not use subcontractors, and Mark, who prices your job, is on site for most of it.

About us

“A good skim is flat in every light. We check each wall with a lamp before we call it finished.”

Mark served his apprenticeship with a plastering firm in Aylesbury and spent ten years on new-build sites and period restorations before starting Sallowmead in Tring in 2011.

He still prices every job himself and works on the tools most days. The business is named after the meadow behind the house where he grew up, on the edge of Tring.
