Example work, explained
Making good a damaged plaster wall
- The problem
- Loose, blown or damaged plaster leaves an uneven surface that paint cannot reliably cover. The condition of the background matters as much as the visible patch.
- The work involved
- Once moisture sources and material concerns are addressed, protect the room, prepare the affected area and reinstate the agreed plaster finish with suitable materials.
- Checks and next steps
- Check the repaired area and its edges, explain drying and decoration requirements, and identify whether painting is included or needs a separate visit.

Questions about plasterers, plaster repairs & skimming
Can you simply skim over a textured ceiling?
The existing material and condition need assessing first. Do not scrape or sand unknown coatings; specialist advice may be required.
Is painting included with plaster repairs?
Only if the quotation includes it. Plaster needs suitable drying and preparation before decoration; we can quote the repair and finishing stages together.
How much does ceiling skimming cost?
Height, access, preparation and material constraints determine the quotation. We provide a quote including VAT for the agreed work.
Do you cover all of London?
Yes. We cover all 32 London boroughs and the City of London. Select a borough below or include your full postcode when requesting a quote. The appointment depends on the required work and available specialist.
