All aspects of plastering, inside and out

From a single ceiling to a whole cottage refurbishment, these are the jobs we take on most.

  • Board and skim

    New plasterboard and a fresh skim on walls and ceilings, flat ceilings included.

  • Skimming over old plaster

    When the old plaster can stay, we prime, mesh and skim over it, which keeps the job within budget.

  • Artex ceiling overskim

    Full protection, prepped and primed, then 2 coats of multifinish plaster over the old textured ceiling.

  • Sand and cement finishes

    Solid traditional sand and cement on walls, including a textured “skip trowel” finish when you want depth rather than a flat wall.

  • Rendering

    All aspects of plastering and rendering, so the outside of the house is covered as well as the inside.

  • Bathrooms

    Ceilings and walls pulled down for a completely new start: insulation, plasterboard, dot and dab, prep and skim, and aqua panel.

  • Hallways and stairways

    Tall spaces and curved ceilings, beaded, scrimmed and skimmed, with scaffold to reach the top.

  • Cottages and extensions

    Old cottage refurbishments and new build extensions, with rounded corners when you want them.

Protected, primed, then two coats

Full protection, prepped and primed, then 2 coats of multifinish plaster: the checklist from a recent Artex ceiling overskim in Kemble.

  1. Extension ceiling part way through skimming, with the floor covered in protective sheetsStep 1

    Full protection

    Floors and surfaces are covered before any work starts, so the room is left clean when we go.

  2. Plasterboard ceiling with scrim tape over the joints, ready for skimmingStep 2

    Prepped and primed

    Boards fixed and joints scrimmed, every surface prepared and primed before plastering.

  3. Freshly skimmed ceiling repair in a dining room, still pink while it driesStep 3

    2 coats of multifinish

    Two coats of multifinish plaster for a smooth, even finish.

“He is always on time, the area is left spotless after he has finished and the final product is excellent.”

Render, sand and cement

As well as plastering, we take on rendering and traditional sand and cement wall finishes, smooth or with a skip trowel texture for depth.

James, on a sand and cement finish

“Wall finishes are a solid traditional sand and cement. Building out and making obvious deviations. Also known as “skip trowel” creating a texture and depth to the walls as the client wishes.”

“Board and skim on these flat ceilings. Getting the top half done off a scaffold, it was a lot of up and down.”

The walls were finished in solid traditional sand and cement with a skip trowel texture, as the client wished, with rounded corners and attention to detail throughout.

We also plaster bathrooms for a plumbing firm we work with. Here is another one, stripped back before plastering.

We used James for a old cottage refurbishment and a new build extension. Nothing was too much trouble and great attention to detail. He has a great attitude and gave us the finish we were looking for. His rounded corners are first class and receive lots of comments from our visitors. He is hard working and reliable, very tidy and and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We have now used James twice for plastering work. He is always on time, the area is left spotless after he has finished and the final product is excellent. Would highly recommend him for any plastering work.
