Repairs

We professionally repair cracks, holes, and damaged plasterwork, restoring your walls and ceilings to a clean, solid, like-new condition.

PLASTERING VS SKIMMING

Plastering vs Skimming — What’s Best for You?

Choosing between plastering and skimming depends on the condition of your existing walls and ceilings. If the surface is rough, uneven, or badly damaged, full plastering is usually the best option to rebuild a solid, smooth base. If the surface is already in decent shape but needs refreshing, skimming applies a thin layer of plaster to create a flawless finish without the need for a complete rebuild. After a quick survey, we’ll recommend the best and most cost-effective approach for your project.

My grandparents contacted James to plaster their living room walls along with removing the artex ceiling and replacing with a smooth finish.
