Why Choose us for Plaster Repair & Skim Coating?

Skim coating and professional repair leave walls and ceilings truly flat so paint and wallpaper sit correctly and patterns match without show-through.

How It Works

How It Works

1. Survey & Diagnosis

A site visit inspects cracks, loose plaster, damp history and substrate type. We recommend the correct repair method — patch, bonding coat or full skim — and show before-and-after examples from local homes.

2. Preparation & Repair

Loose plaster is cut out, hollows keyed and surfaces primed with bonding slurry where required. Repairs use setting plaster and fibre tape on cracks to prevent reappearance.

3. Skim Coat & Finish

We apply a multi-coat skim, float to required texture and use dustless sanding for minimal mess. Final inspection confirms a flat, paint- or wallpaper-ready surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Timing depends on the scope — small patches may be completed in a day, larger rooms with multiple coats and drying time take longer. We give an estimated schedule after the site survey and only proceed once you’re happy with the plan.

“Painting of ceiling and walls as well as stain blocking following a significant water leak. Jeremy did a great job. He successfully blocked the stains from the water leak and repainted the walls and ceiling of a room and entrance hall. He also fixed a crack in the ceiling. Both rooms looks great. Great communication, friendly service and on time.”
