All five services →Most jobs fall into one of two camps. If the existing plaster is sound, we skim over the top — a couple of thin coats of finish plaster, trowelled up to a flat surface that's ready for paint once it's dried out. If the plaster has blown, is damp-damaged, or the walls have been stripped back to brick, it needs backing coat first to build the surface up, then skimming over that.
New stud walls and ceilings get plasterboarded, taped and skimmed. Where a room has had building work done, the join between old and new is usually the bit that shows, so that's where the care goes.
Small repairs are worth doing properly too — a patched corner or a filled-in doorway that's been feathered out badly will still be visible under emulsion.
