Wall plastering services deliver smooth surfaces that change how rooms look and feel. Whether covering old damage, refreshing dated finishes, or preparing for decoration, professional skimming creates flawless walls throughout your home. Skilled application, quality materials, and attention to detail ensure results that last — surfaces ready for paint, wallpaper, or any finish you choose.
Quality ceiling re-skimming eliminates dated textures and creates fresh, smooth finishes throughout your property. Swirl patterns, stipple coatings, and damaged plaster respond to professional skimming that delivers flat overhead surfaces. Experienced plasterers handle ceiling work efficiently — proper technique, consistent results, lasting quality — rooms transformed by smooth, modern ceilings.
Patch repair skimming blends seamlessly into existing surfaces, making damage invisible without re-plastering entire walls. Holes, cracks, dents, and damaged sections get properly filled, keyed, and skim coated to match surrounding plaster exactly. Skilled plasterers feather edges, match textures, and finish patches so they disappear completely — repairs that stay hidden under any decorative finish you apply.
Professional finishing transforms new plasterboard into smooth, seamless surfaces ready for any decorative treatment. Extensions, loft conversions, and new builds need quality taping, jointing, and skimming to create walls that look right. Skilled plasterers ensure lasting results — no visible joints showing through, no cracking over time, just flawless finishes throughout.
Total room transformation starts with full skimming that creates consistent smooth finishes across all surfaces. Walls and ceilings get complete coverage — no mismatched areas, no texture variations, just unified results throughout. Professional plasterers work efficiently, delivering the even quality that makes decorating straightforward and rooms feel completely refreshed.
Two plasterers can quote the same job — one leaves glass, the other leaves waves. Here’s what drives the difference in our work throughout George Green.
Local knowledge from George Green Road across to Wexham Park Hospital means understanding George Green construction patterns. Victorian artisan housing near the centre, inter-war expansion further out, post-war estates on the edges — each zone has characteristic wall types we’ve learned to handle.
Extension walls joining original walls, old ceilings meeting new plasterboard, repairs that must disappear into existing finishes — transitions need careful handling. Seamless results across George Green come from managing where different surfaces meet.
George Green properties feature mainly semi-detached houses and modern estates, ceilings around 2.3m to 2.4m (7.5ft – 7.9ft). That housing consistency means we’ve solved the same problems repeatedly — knowledge that transfers directly to your walls.
Contact reaches the tradesman immediately — the same person who’ll assess your walls, solve any surface problems, and deliver the finished skim coats. Questions about wall condition and preparation get proper answers from someone who knows.
Initial chat covers what you’re dealing with — wall condition, finish requirements, known issues. The plasterer uses this to understand scope, then arranges assessment at convenient timing for thorough surface evaluation and detailed pricing.
Wall inspection covers everything relevant — structural soundness, surface adhesion, previous repair quality, moisture levels. The plasterer explains preparation needs in plain terms. Pricing reflects what your walls actually require, not generic per-metre rates.
Work follows proper sequence — preparation, first coat, second coat, finishing. Dust sheets protect flooring and furniture throughout. Comprehensive cleanup follows completion. You’ll understand drying stages, mist coat requirements, and realistic timelines for decorating.
Planning wall work means practical questions need answering — what preparation involves, realistic durations, when you can decorate. Clear information below.
Room timing varies with surface requirements. Straightforward re-skimming in a standard bedroom completes in a day. Add preparation complications, problem areas, or ceiling work, and schedules extend. Accurate timing follows from proper wall inspection.
Not necessarily — existing condition dictates preparation. Sound plaster gets keyed and coated over. Blown sections need removing before re-coating. Heavy buildup from previous plastering might need stripping. Assessment identifies genuine requirements rather than assuming worst-case.
Skimming means applying thin finish coats — usually 2-3mm — over existing prepared surfaces. Plastering includes heavier work like base coats on brick, render application, or building thickness. Home re-skimming typically involves thin finish coats over existing plaster, not full plastering systems.
Some painted walls skim over, others need work first. Light matt emulsion on sound plaster takes skim after keying. Thick paint, gloss finishes, or silk coatings create adhesion problems — often needing removal or bonding preparation. Assessment determines approach.
Allow adequate drying time — 2-4 days for surface readiness, 2-3 weeks for complete curing. Apply mist coat first with diluted matt emulsion before proper painting. Rushing decoration causes paint failures on new plaster.
