Plastering Margate's Properties

The weather in Margate this spring has been fantastic and suddenly everyone wants plastering work around the house. I'm not complaining, a busy plasterer is a happy plasterer. www.plastering4u.com

Turner Contemporary Gallery

Interesting visit to the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate today. I was impressed with the building itself, designed by David Chipperfield, as well as  the artwork on display inside. For anybody who hasn't paid a visit to the gallery, then I suggest you do as there is much to see and appreciate. www.plastering4u.com

Dangers Of Asbestos In Buildings

I just wanted to share a little info about the dangers of knocking old plaster off walls where asbestos is present; I encountered this on a recent project. Asbestos-related diseases kill more people than any other single work-related cause. All types of asbestos can be dangerous if disturbed. The danger arises when asbestos fibres become airborne. They form a very fine dust. Breathing asbestos dust can cause serious damage to the lungs and cause cancer.
If asbestos is present on any project it must be safely removed by a licensed contractor.
