About Ryedale Plasterers

Ryedale Plasterers is a family-run business established in 1982, with a long-standing reputation for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Over the years, we have become recognised specialists in the restoration and conservation of original plaster features. Our work has taken us across the UK, from Scotland to Kent, although the majority of our projects are carried out within a 75-mile radius of DL6 2NB.
