Re-skim, fresh plaster, patches, coving and bonding. Plastering is a feel-job. We do it ourselves, not as a separate trade, so the finish lines up with what comes next. Walls ready for paint inside 48 hours of skim.
Scope scales with the size of the job, but these four areas are the spine of every one we do.
Old plaster scraped, walls primed and re-skimmed in two coats. Flat, smooth, ready for paint or paper.
Hairline cracks, blown plaster behind chimney breasts, holes from removed sockets. Patched in and feathered so the repair disappears under paint.
Stud walls, ceiling boards, dot-and-dab. Boarded, scrimmed and skimmed in one go, ready for second-fix electrics or paint.
Standard coving and the simpler Victorian cornice profiles. Mitred, fixed, jointed and lined in for a clean finish.
Skim is touch-dry in 24 hours but you want at least 48 hours before mist-coating. Bigger rooms or damp houses can take a few days longer. We will tell you on the day.
We will if you want. Most clients prefer us to mist-coat as part of the job so the walls go straight to a finished decorator instead of leaving the skim bare.
Yes. Ceilings get skimmed first while the floor is sheeted, then walls. Most rooms are done in a single day on site.
Same team, every job, across SW4, SW8, SW11, SW12, SW15, SW17, SW18, SW19 and CR4.
