Michael Bell, second generation fibrous plasterer at PL Bell Ltd (originally founded by his father Percy Lyall Bell), was told when starting out in 1950 that the craft of ornate plastering was a dying one.
Michael said “With good justification at the time, we saw a major boom in products being produced via machinery, leaving little space for hands on, individual craftsmanship.”
Today, however, demand for a high quality, unique look when building continues to drive a growing demand for intricate ornate plaster.
