Lime plasterer recommendation?

[skier-hughes]

Anyone know a good lime plasterer, who can also do great pointing and lay a few bricks?
I need my bedroom and kitchen doing, mostly brickwork, some lath, some plasterboard.
In south Staffordshire?

Oooh goody. When you have done all the legwork and tested him on your house please send him to me :lol: :lol:

 

[skier-hughes]

You don't want them if it's a she then?
:wink:

 

[Schoolmarm]

Hmmm.

I would feel guilty watching a laydeee toiling and would have to help.

I would just sit and admire a man toiling, and help a teeny bit. :lol:

So yes I prefer a man. :shock:

Would you like me to put the sun tan lotion on your back young man.................. sort of help?

 

[Schoolmarm]

:shock: No, like bringing wheelbarrows full of sand/stone/mortar whatever. Sorting stone. Cleaning up.

Erm, putting foot on ladder bottom.

I would scare them if I offered to rub oil on :lol: :lol: :lol: something like the sketches in Harry Enfield with the two old ladies. "ooooh young maaan" :lol:

Fantastic guys - some much needed light relief!

 

[skier-hughes]

I do still need a lime plasterer FW.

Sorry Graham - I've done it, but thankfully we've gone for the "vernacular" finish. Besides, contrary to the assertions of some, I don't think the NHS can spare me to come to South Staffs! 8)

on holiday?

 

[Schoolmarm]

Yes, plain selfish.

He is going on holiday messing about instead of helping fellow forumites.

Typical.

 

[Schoolmarm]

What about testing these people for all our benefit. 8)

Holiday? Me?

Ok, well I guess I am off for a week in the Loire at the end of next month. Have friends with an old house out there they've repaired; middle of a vineyard, etc. Indeed, we'll be admiring the new oak-framed shed/garage/cave they're putting up.

That was a great site 'Marm.

 

[Schoolmarm]

They look "real" don't they.

Pics of the holiday are of course obligatory. But not topless :?

 

[Schoolmarm]

Graham, Jon and Gervase are both willing to travel and do your work. I have it on very good authority.

To say I am jealous is an understatement.

 

[skier-hughes]

Jon passed me to to someone else, having emailed her a few times with details, she has not made the final contact with which day she was going to come to do a look round and quote. It was supposed to be last week.
I'll email Gervase.
I have a guy coming Sunday to look round and quote. He's coming Sunday because he is so busy, so even if it's good I don't know when he might be able to do it.

 

[Schoolmarm]

Gervase sounds your best bet then :mrgreen: and he is probably the best to do it anyway.
