What Bournemouth customers say
Skimmed our whole downstairs after we took the wallpaper off. Walls came up perfectly flat and they cleaned up every evening.
Sarah M.
Artex ceiling in the lounge was covered over and you would never know it was there. Huge difference to the room.
David R.
Ceiling came down after a bathroom leak upstairs. They boarded and skimmed it within two days of me calling.
Emma T.
Rendered the front and side of the house in K Rend. Neat lines, tidy scaffolding and a fair price.
Mark H.
We manage several rentals and use them for all our plastering now. Reliable with dates, which matters to us.
Claire B.
Coving in the hallway was damaged in places. Repaired and matched so well I cannot spot the joins.
Peter S.
Two-storey extension plastered start to finish. Kept pace with our builder and left it ready to decorate.
Jonathan P.
Old lath and plaster wall replaced with plasterboard and skimmed. Explained the options clearly before starting.
Rachel D.
Quoted on the Monday, started the following week, finished on the day they said. No surprises on price.
Andrew L.
Patch repairs in three bedrooms plus a hallway ceiling. Tidy work and genuinely nice lads to have in the house.

FAQs
Plastering questions, answered
The things customers ask us most. If yours is not here, call and ask — we are happy to talk through the job before you commit to anything.
01202 125594How much does plastering cost in Bournemouth?
Most rooms are priced per wall or per ceiling once we have seen the surface. As a guide, a standard ceiling skim starts around £200 and a small bedroom re-skim around £450. We always quote in writing before starting.
How long does fresh plaster take to dry?
Usually three to seven days for a skim, longer in winter or on solid walls. It turns from dark brown to a uniform pale pink when it is dry throughout.
When can I paint newly plastered walls?
Wait until the plaster is fully pale and dry, then use a mist coat of watered-down emulsion before your finish coats. Painting too early traps moisture and causes flaking.
Can you plaster over existing plaster?
Yes, as long as the existing plaster is sound and well bonded. Anything hollow or blown gets cut out and made good first so the new finish lasts.
Can Artex be plastered over?
In most cases yes. Shallow patterns can be bonded and skimmed over; heavier patterns are scraped back or overboarded first. Pre-2000 textured coatings are checked before any dry removal.
Can you repair a ceiling after a water leak?
Yes. Once the leak is fixed and the area has dried we cut out damaged plasterboard, re-board where needed and skim the ceiling back to a flat finish.
What types of rendering do you provide?
K Rend and other silicone thin-coat systems, monocouche, traditional sand and cement, and pebbledash repairs or replacement.
Do you plaster extensions and new builds?
Regularly. We work alongside builders on extensions, loft conversions and new builds, covering boarding, taping and full skim finishes.
Which areas around Bournemouth do you cover?
Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Ferndown, Wimborne, Ringwood, Verwood, New Milton and the surrounding villages. Call if you are slightly further out.
