Why It Matters

The Foundation of a Great Finish

You can't achieve a flawless paint finish on poor plaster. Bumps, cracks, and uneven surfaces show through even the best paint.

Professional plastering gives you:

  • Smooth, even walls that look perfect
  • Paint that adheres properly and lasts
  • No cracks or imperfections showing through
  • Better insulation and soundproofing
  • Added value to your property

I assess your walls honestly and recommend the right solution — whether that's a simple skim or full replastering.

Plastering Questions

Common questions about skimming, plastering, and achieving perfect walls.

we provide comprehensive plastering services including skimming over existing plaster, plastering bare walls, patch repairs for cracks and holes, ceiling repairs, and rendering. Whether you need a single wall skimmed or a whole room replastered, we deliver smooth, professional finishes ready for decorating.
Typically 2-3 days depending on conditions. Good ventilation helps speed drying, but we never recommend forcing it with heaters as this can cause cracking. we always allow proper drying tius before painting — rushing this step ruins the finish. we will advise you on exactly when the plaster is ready for the next stage.
Yes, We repair all types of wall damage. Hairline cracks are filled and sanded smooth. Larger cracks are opened up, filled with appropriate materials, and finished to blend seamlessly. For recurring cracks (often in older properties), we investigate and address the underlying cause to prevent reappearance.
If your existing plaster is sound — not blown (hollow sounding), not crumbling, and not covered in wallpaper residue — we can usually skim over it. This is quicker and more cost-effective. If the plaster is damaged or the surface is poor, removal and replastering is the better long-term solution. we will assess and advise honestly.
Plastering typically means applying plaster to bare walls or building up layers. Skimming is applying a thin final coat (2-3mm) over existing plaster to create a smooth finish. Most redecoration projects need skimming rather than full replastering — it's faster, less messy, and gives excellent results when the base is sound.
Plastering is messy work, but we minimise disruption. we protect floors and furniture thoroughly, mask off areas, and clean up daily. Dust is inevitable but We use dust sheets and work carefully. we leave the room clean and ready for decorating — though We recommend letting the plaster dry fully before painting.
