Skimming applies a thin new coat over a sound existing surface, while replastering removes the old plaster and applies a fresh, thicker coat. We will advise which suits your walls.

Painted walls can often be skimmed after preparation. Wallpaper should be removed first, as it can loosen and cause defects. We will check the surface before quoting.

Dry lining fixes plasterboard to walls or a frame to create a flat, stable surface. It is often used on new partitions, extensions and uneven masonry walls.

Yes. We work on extensions, loft conversions and full renovations, from boarding through to the final skim coat.

Yes. Cracks, blown areas and damaged plaster can usually be cut out, made good and re-skimmed so the repair blends into the surrounding wall.

Yes. Textured coatings can be skimmed over, or the ceiling can be overboarded, depending on its condition. Older Artex may contain asbestos, so it should be tested before any work begins.

The cause of the damp should be identified and fixed first. Once the wall is dry and sound we can replaster it, using suitable materials where needed.

A single room can often be skimmed in a day, with more time needed for full-room replastering or larger projects. We explain the likely programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.

Workmanship cover depends on the agreed specification. Any applicable cover will be stated clearly in the written quotation.

New plaster needs time to dry and cure, often a few days up to a couple of weeks depending on conditions. We will advise on when it is ready and how to prime it.

We will explain access, protection and preparation before work starts. Clearing the room as far as possible helps the team work safely and efficiently.

Plastering is a wet trade, but we protect floors and furniture, keep the working area tidy and clear up when we finish each day.
