Casting pearls

Article Abstract:

The UK decorative plasterwork industry is not a lucrative business in the 90s. Restoration and specialist work forms the bulk of the market with potential in empty office space, starter homes and local authority buildings. Cieling roses can cost in between 20 pounds sterling and 250 pounds sterling. Installation costs extra. The UK's biggest plasterwork manufacturer is Milne Plastering which makes a turnover of 1 million pounds sterling annually. Most of its work comes from listed buildings and restoration work.
