Flat ceilings show bad walls. Flat walls show bad ceilings. Here’s why we finish both to the same standard throughout Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
From Bedgrove Park to Mandeville School and out to Weston Road, we’ve worked on Stoke Mandeville Hospital’s full housing range. That teaches you what preparation to expect before arriving — which areas have solid walls, where to expect blown plaster, what the original builders used.
Single feature walls, whole room transformations, awkward ceiling repairs, invisible patch blending — each job type brings its own challenges. Consistent quality across Stoke Mandeville Hospital comes from adapting methods to match conditions, not applying the same approach everywhere.

Your enquiry connects directly to the plasterer serving Stoke Mandeville Hospital — someone who can discuss surface conditions knowledgeably and explain why some walls need more preparation than others. Real trade conversation from the first contact.
First conversation focuses on understanding your walls — what’s on them now, what finish you’re after, how many rooms need attention. Based on that, assessment gets arranged at a time that suits. No pressure, no commitment until you’ve had surfaces checked properly and received clear pricing.
Assessment means evaluating walls properly — adhesion testing, suction checking, damp investigation, previous repair assessment. The plasterer explains preparation requirements in plain English. Quotes based on real conditions, not phone descriptions.
Jobs follow proper sequence — prep work, plaster application, finishing technique. Dust sheets go down for surrounding areas. Comprehensive cleanup occurs after completion. You receive practical information about drying requirements, mist coats, and decoration readiness.
Before booking skimming work, most people want to know the same things — preparation, timing, costs, drying. Here’s the honest detail on what to expect.
Completion time varies with surface condition rather than room size alone. Average bedroom on decent plaster takes a day. Walls requiring stripping, bonding, or substantial prep work take longer. Ceiling inclusion adds time. Assessment provides realistic scheduling for your particular surfaces.
Not always — it depends on existing surface condition. Sound plaster that’s firmly attached just needs keying and coating. Blown plaster that sounds hollow when tapped needs removing. Multiple previous coats building thickness sometimes require stripping. Assessment determines what your specific walls need — some skim straight over, others need work first.
Skim coats are thin finish layers — 2-3mm typically — applied over existing surfaces to create smooth walls. Plastering covers heavier applications including base coats on masonry, render work, or building depth. Most domestic work involves skimming existing plaster rather than full replastering.
Depends on the paint situation. Thin matt emulsion takes skim after keying preparation. Thick coatings, gloss finishes, or silk paint prevent proper adhesion — usually needing removal or bonding agent application. Assessment identifies requirements for your specific surfaces.
Standard skimming dries surface-ready within 2-4 days typically, though full curing extends to 2-3 weeks. Mist coat application first — watered-down matt emulsion sealing porous surfaces — then proper decoration. Insufficient drying causes paint failures.
