We had plaster coming loose and did not want a quick cosmetic patch.
Murkvalitet took time to understand the cause and suggested an approach that fit the building.
Great communication, tidy worksite, and a result that feels built to last. We also appreciated how clearly they explained what was included and why.

Do you ever stop and look at masonry? No? Then it’s probably mostly us.
We love masonry where everything clicks: straight lines, even joints, and a mortar that matches the material. In Gothenburg you often see how harder materials and softer mortars can work together and take up movement in older environments—those details are the difference between work that lasts and work that starts failing after a few winters. And we honestly wince when systems are mixed the wrong way—like cement mortar on lime mortar—because it can lead to cracking, frost damage and plaster that comes loose.
To us, Quality for real means knowledge, experience and the right materials on the right substrate. With close to 20 years in the trade and a trade certificate, we know when lime mortar, lime plaster or another system is the right choice—and, most importantly, why. That applies to both modern builds and older buildings.
We like when the whole project fits together. That’s why we don’t settle for “almost right”—we want the final result to be perfect. If that means guiding the details, coordinating with other trades or even sourcing materials for them, we do it.

Services, local knowledge, older buildings – and ROT when relevant.
We handle all kinds of masonry—from new builds and repairs to projects where the details truly matter.
In addition to masonry, we work with plastering (including traditional thick plaster and render repairs) as well as chimney work.
For chimneys, we cover tasks such as flue sealing (glidgjutning), installing liner pipes, and chimney renovation/rebuilds.
We always start with the substrate and choose methods and materials that fit the structure—so the result lasts over time, not just the first season.
The West Coast is demanding. Wind, rain, and recurring frost affect how masonry and plaster age – especially on exposed façades and where materials meet.
We work in Gothenburg, Kungsbacka, and across northern Halland, taking both the building and the location into account: exposure, moisture, movement, and substrate.
That makes material choices more accurate, the build-up more robust, and the end result more durable over time.
And this is not just theory – we also know where to source the right materials locally. When a project requires the right mortar and the right system, we rely on suppliers we trust, such as Beijer in Gothenburg, Brukspecialisten, and Derome. This helps us secure material choices and keep the project pace without compromising quality.
In older buildings, the right materials aren’t a small detail—they’re the difference between lasting work and recurring issues.
We often work with lime mortar, lime plaster and other systems that must match the substrate to perform as intended.
This reduces common problems such as cracking, frost damage and plaster delamination as the building moves and moisture cycles through.
Render repairs and other demanding plaster work require material know-how and careful build-up—exactly where we’re at our best.
When the Swedish ROT deduction applies, we help keep the setup easy to understand.
You’ll get clear documentation in the quote so you know what’s included and how it’s handled—before we start.
And we want you to feel safe throughout the project: we carry liability insurance and work with clear communication so you know what happens and why.
The result is less uncertainty, better decisions, and a project that feels controlled from start to finish.
Examples from Instagram and references will be added once the selection is final.
A custom natural stone gas fireplace built from the ground up. Each stone is shaped and placed for correct proportions, stability and a finish that feels native to the space—craftsmanship where the whole structure matters.
Custom kitchen island with a cast white concrete worktop and plastered side panels. The result is clean and timeless, with crisp edges and smooth transitions built for everyday use.
A close-up showing the junction between white concrete and plaster. With cast surfaces and plaster, preparation and finish are everything—aiming for a solid, monolithic look without a "built-on" feel.
A stone entry surface with clean lines and well-planned edges. Correct slope, neat cuts and a tidy transition to existing cobblestone create a finish that performs where weather and wear are highest.
Custom commission for a well-established construction company: dark custom-cast slabs developed to match an existing slab in an older property. When colour, texture and surface finish must align precisely, we work through controlled testing and fine adjustments until it blends in naturally.
English brick pillars designed to bring warmth and character indoors. By varying brick depth, the surface catches light in a lively way—and the protruding bricks double as subtle ledges.
Three simple steps. You choose a fixed quote or a time-based setup — we make sure it’s right from the start.
We visit your home, inspect the substrate and ask the right questions. You get a clear recommendation for method and materials before we move forward.
Choose a fixed quote, or a time-based setup when the scope is hard to lock down. Either way, you get a clear plan of what’s included.
Once the plan is set, we work carefully and methodically. You get ongoing updates so the final result is exactly what it should be.

Short answers first – details when you want to dive deeper.
A free site visit helps us understand your house and your goal. We look at the substrate, ask the right questions and explain which method and materials make sense. Often we can spot risks such as moisture, frost damage or incompatible material layers early on. After the visit you’ll get a quote – or, if the job is hard to lock down, a clear cost estimate and the next steps.
It depends on the building’s age, the substrate and how moisture and movement behave. In many older houses, lime mortar and lime plaster can be a better fit because they often work well with traditional masonry and handle moisture differently. Cement-based mortars can sometimes be too hard or incompatible, which may lead to cracking or debonding. We assess the site and recommend materials that suit your specific project.
Cracks rarely have a single cause. Common reasons are building movement, moisture, frost, weak preparation, or a mismatch between the plaster and the substrate. In older houses, the wrong mortar or system can make the surface too rigid or reduce bonding, so cracks develop over time. We start by finding the cause—not just patching the surface—because otherwise the problem often returns.
When plaster comes loose, it is often a bonding issue: the substrate may be dusty, damp, too dense, or treated in a way that prevents adhesion. It can also happen when the wrong mortar is used on a substrate that requires a different system. In Sweden, frost and moisture matter a lot. We check the surface, choose the right build-up and follow proven systems so the plaster has the best conditions to stay in place.
Yes— we help with chimney work such as repairs and renovations for function and safety. The right solution depends on the chimney’s condition and what will be connected. In many cases the work needs to be inspected and approved, so the process matters. We can guide you through the steps and, when needed, coordinate with a chimney sweep/inspector so you know what is required before and after the work.
We build the masonry part of fireplaces and stove surrounds—design, brickwork and finish that become a natural part of the room. The approach and materials are adapted to the house and the substrate. Installation/connection and approval may require additional steps, but we help you plan the whole setup so it’s right from the start. Tell us what you want to achieve and we’ll suggest a solid plan.
The right plaster system depends on the substrate, moisture conditions, climate and the result you want. That’s why we start by understanding what we are working with: brick, stone, concrete, old plaster, reed matting or timber panels. We then choose a proven system and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines (build-up, mesh, primer). The goal is long-term performance—not just a surface that looks good for one season.
We focus on West Sweden, with priority in Gothenburg, Kungsbacka and Halland. If you are nearby, it is often doable—contact us and we’ll check what makes sense for the job. On site we can quickly assess the substrate, risks and best method, and then recommend the next step. The goal is the right solution, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
It depends on the information we get and how complex the job is. After a site visit we can often define the scope clearly. In some cases—especially in older buildings or where materials meet—we need to verify details so we don’t guess. Then we provide a clear estimate and explain what is included and what can affect the scope. We get back to you as soon as we have solid facts to base it on.
Right now, Instagram is the easiest place to see examples and inspiration from our work. It gives you a feel for finish, materials and details. We will also publish selected projects on the website with short explanations of method and material choices, so you can see the “why” behind the result. If you have a similar project, send a photo and we’ll talk through the best approach.
