The business

A small trade, done properly.

Nova Coat & Plaster is a sole trader business. When you call, you speak to Luc. When the work starts, Luc is the one doing it.

Most jobs are a mix of both trades: a cracked ceiling skimmed, then the room painted once the plaster is properly dry. Some are just plastering, some just painting and decorating. Both are welcome.

Every room is looked at on its own merits. The age of a house gives a clue, but it does not decide whether a wall needs a skim, a repair or more. Luc checks first, then explains what he would do and why.

Homeowners, tenants with permission, landlords and letting agents all get in touch. Quotes are free and come with a plain explanation of what the job needs.

How Luc works in your home.

    Luc plasters and paints. No waiting on a second trade, and no finger-pointing about who caused the bump under the paint.
