Wall plastering for a flawless base

Wall plastering transforms uneven, cracked or worn walls into a clean, smooth canvas. We plaster new walls, re-plaster old ones and skim over existing surfaces to freshen them up, always preparing the wall properly first.

Our wall plastering services include:

White textured plaster wall surface

Skim coating:

A thin, smooth finish over existing plaster or plasterboard.

Pile of broken drywall and construction debris

Full re-plastering:

Removing and replacing damaged or failing plaster.

Ceiling plastering done neatly

Ceilings are tricky to get right. Our ceiling plastering gives you a clean, even surface that looks good in all lighting, whether you are repairing a damaged area or finishing a whole room. We handle:

  • Skimming and re-skimming existing ceilings
  • Repairs after leaks, electrical work or plumbing work
  • Replacing cracked or sagging sections
  • Preparing ceilings for painting, lighting and spotlights

Plaster repairs that blend in

Cracks, holes, blown plaster and water damage do not have to mean a full re-plaster. Our plaster repairs restore the surface and blend seamlessly with the surrounding wall, so you cannot tell where the repair was made.

Common plaster repairs include:

  • Hairline and structural-looking cracks
  • Holes from removed fixtures, fittings or pipework
  • Blown or hollow plaster
  • Damage after plumbing, electrical or building work
  • Patch repairs before repainting

Where damp or water damage is the cause, we advise you to fix the source first, so the repair lasts. [Confirm advice wording before publishing.]

Plastering for renovation, refurbishment and landlords

Plastering is a core part of many property projects. We work alongside our renovation, refurbishment and decorating teams, so the whole job runs smoothly. For landlords and letting agents, plaster repairs between tenancies keep properties looking fresh and ready to let.
