Our Process
01
Assessment & Planning
We evaluate your walls, ceilings, or floors, identify any damage or uneven areas, and choose the best materials and techniques for the space.
02
Surface Preparation & Application
Surfaces are cleaned and primed. We install plasterboard or apply bonding coats where needed, then carefully plaster or screed the surface for a level, flawless result.
03
Drying, Finishing & Quality Check
Once the surface is dry, we inspect for imperfections and sand or touch up as needed. You receive a clean, smooth, professional finish ready for decorating.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between plastering and screeding?
Plastering smooths walls and ceilings, while screeding levels floors in preparation for tiling or flooring. Both are essential for a polished finish.
Can you plaster over old walls or artex ceilings?
Yes, we can apply bonding agents and skim plaster over most surfaces, including old plaster and artex (after preparation).
How long does plaster or screed take to dry?
Drying times vary. Standard plaster usually dries in 3–5 days, while screeds can take up to 1 week or more depending on thickness and type.
Do you offer fast-drying or self-levelling screeds?
Yes, we use self-levelling and quick-drying products when time is tight or underfloor heating is involved.
Is your work ready for painting or tiling afterward?
Absolutely. All surfaces are finished to a professional standard, ready for decoration or further fitting.
