Inside your home
Uneven walls, damaged ceilings or a room ready for a fresh finish: plastering is often the work that makes everything else possible. Describe the surfaces and the result you need. Pinnacle helps you find vetted tradespeople for a clearly defined plastering job.

Worth thinking about
Cracking, loose plaster and staining can have different causes. Ask whether the existing surface is sound enough to work over and what preparation is included. If there is continuing movement or moisture, a new finish alone may not solve it. Tell the tradesperson what you know about the history.
The work
Why we are here
Cowboy builders have cost families their savings, and the tradespeople who turn up on time and do the work properly get tarred with the same brush. Most platforms check the company rather than the person who will be standing in your kitchen.
Pinnacle vets the individual. Our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years helping families rebuild after they were let down, more than 500 of them, sometimes out of his own pocket. Identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references are all checked by a person, against the standard he built that work to.
It costs you nothing, and you are not handed a list and left to it. Pinnacle stays in the middle for the whole project, so if something needs sorting out there is someone to tell.
Graham's storyPinnacle of All Trades
You should not have to start from scratch with a list of names. Our vetting follows the standard our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years building. We find suitable tradespeople for your project, so you can concentrate on what your home needs.
Share the work, your postcode and your timing. Add photos or plans if you have them. It is fine to say what you are still deciding.
We match the project with vetted tradespeople. Identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references are checked before introductions.
Discuss the work, ask questions and agree the scope and quote before hiring. Pinnacle stays involved, so you have someone to contact if a concern comes up.
Once we have looked at your project, we set up your own project area on Pinnacle and send you the link. You can see where the project stands and what happens next, read the tradespeople we introduce by name, ask one of them to contact you, add photos or documents as the work is scoped, tell us if something is wrong, and keep the project up to date as things change.
A clearer quote
Room size, ceiling height, access and the amount of preparation all affect the quote. Ask whether removal of loose material, boarding, protection and disposal are included. Agree who removes fittings and who puts them back afterwards.
Before you hire any builder
From 25 years of helping homeowners after they've been let down. The things every family should check before signing a contract.
No checklist is foolproof, and neither is any vetting. We check every tradesperson hard, but if a job ever stops feeling right, trust your instincts, run it past this list, and tell us. Because Pinnacle of All Trades sits in the middle, you're never sorting it out on your own.
Not just our word for it
Graham has been on ITV This Morning talking about what every homeowner should know before hiring, and in 2021 he was voted the inaugural winner of the SGS Local Hero Award, taking 39% of over 2,000 public votes.
"Contacted Smith Bros Roofing from Pinnacle of All Trades. He was outstanding with the service, came the same day to give a quote and got the job done within 5 hours."

Before you start
The surface needs assessing first. Adhesion, condition and the finish already present affect preparation and whether it can remain.
Ask the plasterer for guidance for the materials and conditions in your room. The surface needs to be ready for the chosen decorating system; drying time varies.
Only if agreed. Make sure the quote states what is being removed, repaired or covered and includes disposal where needed.
Yes, describe it and include photos. Ask how the repair will meet the surrounding finish and whether wider decoration will be needed.
Yes. Registering a project and being introduced to tradespeople costs you nothing, and we take no commission on the work.
No. There is no obligation at any point. Talk to whoever we introduce, get quotes, and walk away if none of them is right for you.
It depends on who is available and suitable near you, so it may be one or it may be several. Nothing is exclusive, so you can compare before you decide.
Tell us. Pinnacle stays in the middle for the whole project rather than stepping back after the introduction, so you are not sorting it out on your own.
A screening call first, then identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references, all checked by a person before anyone is put in front of you.
Your home. Your next step.
We will help you find the right people to talk to about plastering and wall repairs.
Free for homeowners. No obligation to hire.
