Complete Plastering Solutions
From essential plastering work to stunning decorative finishes, we offer comprehensive services to meet every need. Each project receives the same dedication to quality and attention to detail.
Skimming
Professional plaster skimming to create perfectly smooth walls and ceilings. Ideal for new builds, renovations, and refreshing tired surfaces. Our skimming service delivers a flawless base for painting or wallpapering.
Float and Set
Traditional two-coat plastering system combining a base coat (float) with a smooth finish coat (set). Perfect for uneven walls, blockwork, and surfaces requiring a thicker application for a durable, long-lasting finish.
Tacking
Expert dot and dab plasterboard installation for internal walls. This efficient method provides excellent thermal insulation and creates perfectly level surfaces ready for skimming or direct decoration.
Sticking
Professional plasterboard adhesion directly onto solid walls. An effective solution for drylining that minimises room depth loss while creating smooth, straight walls ready for finishing.
Polished Plaster
Luxurious Venetian-style polished plaster creating stunning feature walls with a glass-like sheen. Multiple layers are hand-applied and burnished to achieve a sophisticated, reflective finish that transforms any space.
Tadelakt
Traditional Moroccan lime plaster, naturally waterproof and perfect for bathrooms, wet rooms, and statement walls. Sealed with olive oil soap, Tadelakt offers a unique organic finish with antibacterial properties.
Microcement
Versatile seamless coating for floors, walls, countertops, and furniture. Microcement delivers a contemporary industrial aesthetic with excellent durability, available in a wide range of colours and finishes.
Pitted / Concrete Finishes
Textured decorative plaster creating authentic raw concrete or industrial-style surfaces. Perfect for modern interiors seeking that urban, architectural look with controlled imperfections and character.
