Our Story
St James Plastering Services was founded by James Lawlor in 1993 following a two year City and Guilds course in plastering that has grown into one of the most trusted names in cornice repair and restoration. Back then, we had one goal: to bring high-quality craftsmanship to every home we stepped into. That goal hasn’t changed — it’s just grown stronger.
From restoring delicate cornices in heritage homes to installing modern mouldings in new builds, we’ve done it all — and built lasting relationships along the way.
Our team brings together generations of experience, a sharp eye for detail, and a genuine love for what we do. Whether it’s a simple repair or a full-scale restoration, we treat every project like it’s part of our own home.
Because to us, this isn’t just a job — it’s our passion.
