Serhii repairs and repaints old houses, shops and modern homes around Waterbeach and Cambridge: exteriors, sash and timber windows, lime render, brickwork, plastering and interiors.

Repaired properly, not just painted over

BSA Painting & Plastering is Serhii, a painter and plasterer in Cambridge who works from Waterbeach. His customers live in early 19th century houses with original sash windows, lime rendered cottages, a listed building, a boutique and a shop, as well as newer family homes.

What they say again and again is that he fixes the cause first. Cracks are filled, brickwork and rotten timber repaired, then the paint goes on.

As one customer put it, he works "to ensure the walls and windows were restored properly rather than just covering with a new coat of paint."

Painting, plastering and repairs

Exterior house painting

Outside walls painted from top to bottom, including high and hard to reach walls and chimneys. Cracks filled and brickwork repaired first, and the rest of the property carefully protected while the work is done.

Sash and timber window repair

Rotten timber cut out and repaired, then sash and casement windows repainted. Serhii has restored original early 19th century sash windows, so period details are kept rather than replaced.

Lime render and crack repair

Old lime render and external screeding repaired, cracks filled and the walls repainted. Customers with very old houses say the finish looks like new, with careful attention to the finishing details.

I am so glad that we found Serhii to repaint the outside our of house. He worked incredibly hard, not only painting high and difficult to access walls including scaling the roof to access the chimney but preparing the walls properly first, including filling in all the cracks and repairing the brickwork. He was professional, highly skilled, extremely hardworking and a pleasure to have around. Once the walls were completed, we asked him to stay on to repair and repaint the wooden windows, many of which had started to rot. He also offered to re-coat our flat roof. He showed genuine pride in his work and a detailed knowledge of what processes and materials were needed to ensure the walls and windows were restored properly rather than just covering with a new coat of paint. I would highly recommend his services and wouldn’t hesitate to have him back to work on our house in the future. Thank you so much Serhii, our house looks amazing.

Serhii's / BSA's approach is to treat your house / premises with same the respect and care that he'd apply to his own property. Not so much a painter and plastering service, but more a valued renovation service.

If you're looking for the cheapest quote and a quick splosh of paint over problem areas (that'll need re-doing in a short period of time) i'd look elsewhere. If you want a fix once, do the job properly approach, Serhii is your man. He's tidy, trustworthy and very detail oriented.

Very pleased with the hard work and diligence applied to the works on our house. Would recommend.

Thanks

Serhii spent a couple of months at our house and did a lot of work. The house is very old and the exterior is lime rendered. Numerous cracks had appeared over the years. Many of the timber windows were also in need of repair and restoration. He meticulously repaired all these and painted the windows and plasterwork beautifully.

Serhii worked long hours and worked very hard and he is very knowledgeable. Over time I have concluded that very little in this field is beyond him. He is now my go-to man for this sort of work and I highly recommend him.

Our house is early 19th century & the sash windows are the original ones. When Sergii had completed external painting & repairs, people said the house looked like new. Sergii worked in the most professional & efficient manner throughout. His work ethic is exemplary & he is totally reliable. Nothing is too much trouble & his work is to an extremely high standard. We were delighted with his work. I highly recommend his services.

Having viewed some of BSAs work locally I booked Serhi to carry out some much needed external work on our house. The results are Great, the workmanship is exceptional & We will definitely be using BSA again in the future. I can’t recommend Serhi highly enough.
