We are renovating a Victorian house in East Dulwich, and have used the forum to find most of the tradespeople working on the project. We?re getting towards the end of the job and I wanted to recommend our plasterer John McCann to anyone considering having similar work done.


The house was structurally sound but looked terrible when we started, and John has done a fantastic job re-plastering the entire house. He organized workers to strip the walls back to the original plaster, and then himself: overboarded and skim plastered the ceilings where needed; fixed some pretty substantial cracks throughout the house; hacked-off and re-rendered or plaster-boarded the worst-affected walls; and did a beautiful job with the skim plastering. The walls have a great finish to them, looking really smooth and solid.


Apart from doing great work, John is also cost-conscious, tidy, and extremely trustworthy. We left the keys with him throughout the work, and always felt that the house was being well-looked after (locking up when he left, taking in mail, accepting deliveries for us). To date, everything is on budget and running smoothly. He?s also a pleasure to have around, very friendly, and great at dealing with our toddler running around the site.


His number is 07905 044912, and if you have any questions feel free to PM me.

I would also like to recommend John. He skim plastered a ropey kitchen ceiling for us at short notice because out usual plasterer was busy and we needed the work done quickly. John was friendly and tidy, and did a great job with the ceiling.


BTW Our usual plasterer is Aaron who I'd also recommend (lots of mentions for him on the forum)- again good job, friendly guy and clean and tidy, and all at a fair price.

Just wanted to add my recommendation for John McCann the Plasterer, he has just plastered my three bedrooms and living room. The quality of his work is to an exceptional standard, he is an extremely nice guy, really easy to get on with and has been a pleasure to have in the house.


I would have no hesitation in using his services for other parts of my house if it is required. John does everything he can to please the customer and is great at communicating with you to ensure that he does what is required.


I am extremely happy with the job he has completed, and it has been easy for the decorator to come and do his job because the surface is so smooth and to an excellent finish.

I would also like to recommend John. This is the second job that he has done for me and again, the quality he has acheived is second to none. The room was in a very poor state and now looks fantastic. I am decorating the room myself and the finish John has managed to get is making my life simple with no real preparation required before painting. John is reliable, turning up when he says, and was very accommodating when I added some extra bits to the job that he originally came to do. John McCann 07905 044912

Another recommendation for John McCann. I have been unfortunate in the past with plasterers, I am a perfectionist and John was my 4th plasterer in 4 months, I so wish I had found him sooner,he has done a fantastic job. Great finish, reasonably priced, punctual, friendly and tidy. Thank you John, his number is 07905044912. Message me if you want to look at his work.

Recommended plasterer. We had John McCann (07905044912) plaster our living room last week. He was super friendly, provided a really good price and was very quick and efficient. All our Victorian walls were not straight and he did a great job to transform the room. Highly recommended.

I have a Victorian property in East Dulwich with ornate cornice and ceiling rose. I saw the reviews of John McCann's work (07905044912) on this forum and employed him to re-plaster my damaged ceiling. John has done a fabulous job and really took care of the original features which I was concerned about losing. My dad came around to help me paint it at the weekend and was extremely impressed with the work carried out (and he's a hard man to please!).


I am of no relation to John, just a very happy customer, who would definitely recommend him.

He gave us the best quote, arrived early, worked late and has done a fantastic job of re-plastering our entire bedroom (walls and ceiling). It was in a terrible state and now looks like new. He also made good our kitchen after we removed all the coving.


He's trustworthy, reliable, a really nice guy and was very happy to have the company of our dogs while he worked. We can't recommend he highly enough. He has done two jobs for us since we moved to East Dulwich last year and each one has been to a very high standard. As we are renovating our flat we will be asking Aaron back for all the plastering work.

    • I’d just like local family businesses to not be shut down by big chains, and I think we should support local businesses and our community. I’m sure they are very nice people who pay their taxes too.

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets.
