We are a family business that has grown into a trusted and professional contractor for the UK’s leading house-builders. Founded by Tony Dolphin in 2002 and re-founded by his sons Lee and Craig in 2014, we combine a legacy of quality with modern, professional service.
For us, every project is an opportunity to build a lasting partnership. We foster close working relationships with our partners and our main suppliers, CCF and SIG Distribution. This collaborative approach, combined with our unwavering reliability, is why leading house-builders trust us with their developments time and time again.
We believe a quality finish starts with quality materials and a quality team. That’s why we primarily use trusted British Gypsum materials and employ a long-standing, skilled workforce. Our hands-on director ensures these high standards are met on every single site, guaranteeing a result we are proud to put our family name on.
The health and safety of our workers and everyone on-site is our highest priority. We are a proud CHAS Accredited company, and we ensure that our entire workforce holds valid CSCS cards.
To maintain the highest standards, all our subcontractors receive regular health and safety training. This comprehensive approach ensures we meet our responsibilities and provide a safe, professional service on every project.
The Dolphin Plastering story began in 2002 when our father, Tony Dolphin, first founded the company. In 2014, we—his sons, Lee and Craig Dolphin—proudly took the reins to continue his hard work.

This is why we are so committed to being a trusted, professional contractor and delivering a quality of work that honours our family name.
