Plaster & Beads for Hitchin, delivered to site

Trades and homeowners in Hitchin can order plaster for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Plaster & Beads: choosing well
Fresh stock matters
Old plaster sets fast and unevenly. Order it close to when you need it and keep bags dry.
Undercoat for the background
Hardwall suits high-suction backgrounds like brick and block; bonding suits low-suction backgrounds like concrete or painted surfaces.
