Neil established England’s Ornamental Plastering 37 years ago. In 2005 he joined with Cliff and Sarah to head the company, each bringing quite different yet complimentary qualities to EOP.
Neil E. England
He was privileged to serve a full apprentiship under two Master Plasterers in Northamptonshire. As he approaches his retirement he is one of the few remaining tradesman to have been apprenticed in the traditional methods of application, restoration and associated skills in carpentry, roofing and masonry. These accumulated skills and experience make him one of the last Master Builders who is called upon to advise surveyors and architects with their conservation projects.
Cliff Bishop
Cliff, qualified in flat and ornamental brickwork, has extensive experience in both heritage and contemporary building maintenance. He trained in ornamental plastering 20 years ago under Neil’s direction and following a decade of independent work has rejoined as a partner.
R. Sarah Mayfield B.A., Pg.Cert. (building cons.)
Originally a sculptor in the film industry, Sarah moved into the heritage field 7 years ago training with Neil and working with other conservation companies on such projects as SS Great Britain, Stowe House and St. Paul’s Cathedral. She recently qualified IRTA level 1 for rope access work. The company is presently supporting Sarah’s part-time study for MSc. Historic Building Conservation.
