The Art of the Finish: Why Professional Plastering and Decoration Make the Difference
You’ve likely seen it before: a beautiful new room ruined by wavy plaster, visible joints in the woodwork, or "patchy" paintwork. In the world of construction, the "bones" of the building are essential, but the finish is what you have to live with every single day.
At Consortium Construction, we believe that the final 10% of a project is what defines the quality of the entire build. Here is why professional decoration and plastering are the most important investments in your renovation.
1. The "Glass-Smooth" Foundation
Plastering is a dying art. A truly skilled plasterer doesn't just cover a wall; they create a perfectly flat, "glass-smooth" canvas.
The Problem: Poor plastering shows up the second you turn on a lamp or a spotlight. Every bump and shadow becomes visible.
The Solution: Our team uses time-tested techniques to ensure perfectly sharp corners and flat surfaces, providing the essential foundation for a high-end paint finish.
2. Precision Carpentry & Joinery
Whether it’s bespoke skirting boards, door frames, or custom cabinetry, the woodwork in your home acts as the "frame" for your decor. Our carpenters work with millimetre precision to ensure that every joint is tight and every line is straight. This level of detail is what separates a "DIY look" from a professional architectural finish.
3. Professional-Grade Decoration
Many people view painting as a simple task, but a professional decorator brings more than just a brush.
Preparation: We spend 70% of our time on preparation - sanding, filling, and priming - because that is where the durability comes from.
Material Knowledge: From hard-wearing masonry paints to breathable lime plasters for older properties, we select the specific products that will stay looking fresh in 2026 and beyond.
4. Correcting "Hidden" Issues
Often, decoration and plastering are about more than just aesthetics. Our team is trained to spot (and fix) underlying issues like damp, salt-efflorescence, or structural cracking before we apply the final finish. This ensures your beautiful new room stays beautiful for years, not just weeks.
One Team, One Standard
The biggest advantage of working with our all-in-one team is accountability. Because our decorators and plasterers work for the same company as our builders, they ensure the walls are built correctly from the start. We don't "hide" mistakes; we prevent them.
