Ralph Muranda 40+ Years of Expertise in Ornamental Plastering & Restoration

Heritage Plastercraft is built on generations of traditional plasterwork knowledge, timberwork, conservation, sandstone and Bath stone restoration, and contemporary building work, using skills and techniques passed down through generations of skilled craftsmen dedicated to preserving the beauty and integrity of both historical interiors and exteriors. From heritage buildings and period homes to bespoke contemporary projects, our work reflects a deep respect for classical methods combined with a commitment to precision and quality.
