I recently boarded the ceiling, repaired blown plaster and skimmed a full bedroom in Alvaston in a day. The before and after photos are below. If you're in Alvaston or nearby, get in touch.

The bedroom ceiling had cracking and uneven patches, and there was blown and damaged plaster around the window. I protected the wardrobe and floor, boarded the ceiling and taped the joints, cut out and repaired the damaged plaster, then skimmed the whole room, walls, ceiling and window reveals included.
It covered around 40 m² and was done in one day.
From a single repair to a full room, I'll check what your walls and ceilings actually need before quoting, protect the room while I work and leave a smooth finish ready to decorate.
That covers plastering, skimming, plaster repairs, plasterboarding and overboarding ceilings and Artex ceilings.
Google reviews
“We’ve had 3 bedrooms, a hallway landing and stairs all completed by Sam. In two of the bedrooms the ceilings were over-boarded and skimmed with the third bedroom skimmed as with Sam’s advice the condition of the ceiling didn’t require over-boarding (saved us money!!). The hallway landing and stairs were completed at a time that suited us to the same finish as the bedrooms. Sam has been easy to get hold of, professional when coming around to issue a quote and completed the work in a time frame as promised. I would highly recommend and will no doubt use again in the future. Sam also has a fantastic playlist on the go whilst plastering!”
“Great communications and great job. Sam is probably one of the best plasters in the area. We used him many times and he never fails to impress me with the quality of his work. He always leaves the finished job with minimal mess and a pleased customer.”

On the Alvaston bedroom I boarded the ceiling, repaired the walls and skimmed the whole room in one day. Bigger rooms or more repairs take longer, and I'll tell you what to expect once I've seen yours.
