"I started out as an apprentice at seventeen, learning cornice and lime work on tenement restorations around the city. In 2012 I set up on my own — V.P.G., my own initials, on the side of the van. The rule's never changed: finish every wall like it's going in your own home."

What our customers say
"Had a full cornice restoration done in our tenement flat — matched the original profile perfectly and the ceiling rose looks incredible. Tidy, professional, and finished on time."
"Damp had ruined our bathroom ceiling. V.P.G. sorted the cause, re-skimmed it, and it's been solid for over a year now. Highly recommend."
"Got the exterior render redone on our house — completely transformed the look. Fair price, no mess left behind, and it's held up brilliantly through the winter."
