About Plasterers
A plasterer skims and finishes walls and ceilings to give a smooth surface ready for painting.
They also carry out rendering on external walls and can repair cracks, damage, and uneven surfaces throughout a property.
A plasterer who takes time to prepare surfaces properly will always produce a better result than one who rushes straight to the skim coat.
About Penicuik
Penicuik is a town of around 16,000 people on the northern edge of the Pentland Hills, about ten miles south of Edinburgh.
It was Scotland's paper-making capital for over two centuries — Valleyfield Mill, Bank Mill, and others lined the North Esk — and that industrial heritage is woven into the town's identity.
The Pentland Hills Regional Park is on the doorstep, making Penicuik a base for hill walking, mountain biking, and running that few other Midlothian towns can match.
The town centre has a good range of independent shops, a leisure centre, library, and health centre, giving it a self-contained feel.
Penicuik is connected to Edinburgh by the A701 and regular bus services, with the Straiton park-and-ride offering an alternative route into the city.

About Midlothian
Midlothian is a compact council area immediately south of Edinburgh, stretching from the city bypass to the edge of the Scottish Borders.
It takes in the valleys of the North and South Esk rivers, the northern slopes of the Pentland Hills, and a string of former mining communities that have reinvented themselves as commuter towns and growing residential centres.
Dalkeith is the administrative centre, but Bonnyrigg is the most populous settlement — and Penicuik, set against the Pentlands, has the feel of a self-contained town in its own right.
The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Newtongrange, Gorebridge, and Eskbank to Edinburgh Waverley, and has driven significant housing growth across the region.
Midlothian is one of the fastest-growing local authority areas in Scotland, attracting families and professionals who want proximity to Edinburgh without the city price tag.
