A smooth final coat over tired walls, old Artex and patched ceilings, ready for decorating.
Plasterboarding and finishing for extensions, loft conversions and new partitions.
Blown plaster, cracks and patching after rewires, brought back flat and sound.
Distinctive forms, curved profiles and clean transitions tailored to the room.
Built-in recesses and display details that bring depth and character to a space.
Rounded corners, arches and shaped walls, finished with precision.


Made to fit the space
Arched niches, media walls, recessed shelving and rounded corners take planning, patience and a steady hand. Done well, they turn a plain wall into a feature that feels part of the house.

“Dan skimmed over the old Artex in our lounge and hallway. The walls look brilliant and the house was left tidier than he found it.”
“We wanted arched niches either side of the chimney breast. He talked us through the sizes and they’re the first thing people notice.”
“Clear quote, turned up when he said he would, and the extension was ready for decorating right on schedule.”

A personal service
Northline is Dan Whitaker, who has been plastering around Halifax for twelve years. Most of the work is in people’s homes: skimming over old Artex, patching up after rewires, boarding out loft conversions and, more and more, bespoke niches and media walls.
You deal with Dan from the first visit to the last coat, and he’ll tell you straight whether a wall needs replastering or just a skim. Most of his work comes from recommendations.
How it works
A straightforward process, with clear communication and a tidy house from start to finish.
Send a few details about the job by form or phone, plus photos of the space if you can.
