Plastering, skimming and decorating
Plastering, skimming and decorating, on their own or as the last stage of a bigger job. Old plaster that's blown comes off, the walls are made good and skimmed, then decorated.

Hacking off and making good
Loose or blown plaster comes off and cracks are cut out, so the new plaster has something solid to hold on to.
- 2
Skimming
Walls and ceilings are skimmed to a smooth finish, ready for paint.
- 3
Decorating
Mist coat, then the finish coats on walls, ceilings, skirting and doors.

Plastering and painting: questions
Anything else, ask us on WhatsApp.
Do you take on plastering on its own?
Yes. We do plastering and decorating as a job on its own, as well as the last stage of bigger work.
How long before I can paint new plaster?
Fresh plaster needs to dry before it's painted, usually a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the thickness and the weather. The first coat is a thinned mist coat.
Where we do plastering and painting
We're based in Bromley and work across south-east London and the edge of Surrey and Kent. All areas we cover.
