Assess the surface
The existing plaster is checked for movement, poor adhesion, cracks and other defects that could affect the new finish.
Overskimming
A fresh, smooth finish for tired walls and ceilings.
Careful preparation and overskimming for rooms that need a consistent surface ready for decoration.
A smooth finish starts with a sound background.
Overskimming applies a new plaster finish over a suitable existing wall or ceiling. It can refresh worn surfaces, address minor unevenness and create a consistent base for decorating.
The existing plaster is checked for loose, hollow or contaminated areas before work begins. Cracks and local damage may need separate preparation before the background can receive the new finish.
Floors, furniture and adjoining surfaces are protected before the agreed preparation and plastering work begins.
How the work is approached
Careful preparation followed by a consistent finish.
From the first enquiry through to the finished plaster, each stage is planned to keep the work straightforward and well organised.
Protect and prepare
The room is protected and the background is cleaned, repaired and prepared for the agreed plaster system.
Skim and finish
The plaster is applied and worked through the necessary stages to leave an even surface ready to dry.
