Skimming, dry lining and boarding
Skim coats over existing walls, or fresh board where the surface has gone.
Internal Plastering
From a single patch repair to skimming an entire house, our plasterers leave walls and ceilings smooth, straight and ready for decoration.
We work cleanly around your existing fixtures and protect furniture and flooring throughout, so the mess stays outside the room being worked on.

What's Included
From a single patched wall to skimming a whole house, the work is the same: get it flat, get it smooth, leave it ready for the decorator.
Skim coats over existing walls, or fresh board where the surface has gone.

The making-good after electricians and plumbers have chased out the walls.
A polished finish that takes paint straight away, with no sanding needed.

Our approach
Plastering is wet, dusty work in rooms you are still using, so the preparation matters as much as the trowel work. Floors are covered, doorways are sealed, and furniture is either moved out or sheeted properly rather than draped over.
We work room by room where we can, so the whole house is never out of action at once, and everything is cleaned down at the end of each day rather than left until the job finishes.

FAQ
Find simple answers to all your common queries about organizing, budgeting, managing, and finishing London house remodels.
Depending on the size, state, specification, structural work, design needs, and finish level of the property, a complete London house makeover typically costs between £1,500 and £3,000 or more per square metre. Listed buildings, large renovations, high-end materials, and central London sites can drive up costs noticeably. A thorough property survey and written quote offer the most sensible projection.
The scope of the project, approvals, state of the property, material availability, and number of trades engaged all affect timelines. Renovations of a single room could last a few weeks; those of an entire house could span several months. Before construction starts, a thorough schedule should be decided.
Yes. We arrange surveys, design, authorizations, structural work, plumbing, electrics, construction, installations, decoration, and ultimate finishing. Our knowledgeable building crew helps to simplify communication, maximize cooperation between trades, and offer homeowners one point of contact during the makeover.
Look for good insurance, good references, recent work samples, clear written estimates, experience, and communication. Confirm what is covered, how deviations are handled, the likely timescales, amounts of payment, and who authorises. Value, quality, structure and dependability are also highly important, so don’t only opt for the lowest price
Many internal changes don’t call for planning permission. But extensions, significant outside modifications, loft conversions, listed structures, and homes in conservation zones might need listed building permission or planning permission. Even in cases where planning permission is not needed, Building Regulations approval may be important. Before work starts, requirements should be checked with the relevant London borough.
We flag anything unexpected as soon as we find it, explain the options and costs, and agree the way forward with you before continuing.
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed, and manufacturer warranties on materials and fittings are passed on to you at handover.
Often yes, depending on the work. We'll discuss which rooms stay usable, keep the site tidy and phase the work to limit disruption.
