George Cook & Sons employ traditional craftsman capable of high quality plasterwork using traditional haired lime plaster.We also employ master craftsmen who are capable of running both in situ plaster and cement mouldings.

An international portfolio: We work nationally and internationally, and have been honoured to work on the Palace of Westminster, St Paul's Cathedral as well as the Dome of Rotunda at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The latter is reputed to be the largest single area of lime plaster to be carried out anywhere in the world during the last century. You can read more about our previous projects in the projects section of the website.

We have been prize winners at the prestigious Plasterers Trophy Competition: for work at Brentwood Cathetral, a large country house at Braintree Essex, and twice for work at Downing College Cabridge. We were also awarded the Crab Trophy in the Plasterers Trophy Competition for a new orangery built at a large country house in Suffolk.
