Smooth, paint-ready skim finishes for walls and ceilings in any room.
Learn More: Wall and Ceiling Plastering (Skimming)About Us
Fifteen years of skimming, repairs and rendering across Bournemouth and Dorset. Small enough that you deal with the plasterer, established enough to handle a whole house.
Our Story
We started out doing single ceilings and patch repairs for neighbours in Winton. Most of our work still arrives the same way — someone has seen a finished room and asked who did it.
Since then we have skimmed whole houses in Poole, re-rendered coastal properties in Sandbourne and worked alongside builders on new builds in Ferndown. The jobs got bigger, but the way we work has not changed: we quote what the job actually needs, turn up when we say, and leave the place clean.
There is no call centre and no sales team. When you ring, you speak to the plasterer who will be on the tools in your house.
How We Work
Six things we hold to on every job, whether it is one ceiling in a flat or eleven rooms in a new build.
Our quote is written, itemised and held. If we find something behind the wall that changes the job, we tell you before we carry on, not after.
The same faces every day. No subcontracted labour brought in to hit a deadline, and no apprentices left to finish a wall on their own.
Dust sheets down, edges masked, sockets protected. Waste and sheeting leave with us rather than sitting in your garden for a week.
If a patch repair will do, we will say so. If a wall genuinely needs boarding out, we will explain why before you commit to anything.
Every completed job carries a written ten-year workmanship guarantee. Cracks or defects down to our work get put right.
Based in Bournemouth, working within about twenty miles. You get a number that a plasterer answers, not a ticket system.
Our Services
Eight core services, all handled in-house by the same team. No job is passed on to a third party.
A flat, polished skim finish over walls and ceilings in any room of the house. Ideal after removing wallpaper, knocking through, or when tired plaster needs bringing back to a smooth, paint-ready surface.

Skimmed our whole downstairs after we took the wallpaper off. Walls came up perfectly flat and they cleaned up every evening.
Two bedroom ceilings skimmed in a day and a half. No mess left behind and the finish took paint beautifully.
Our 1930s hallway walls were all over the place. They straightened everything out and the corners are razor sharp.
Knocked the kitchen and dining room through and needed the whole space skimming. Turned up when they said and finished on schedule.
We manage several rentals and use them for all our skimming between tenancies. Reliable with dates, which matters to us.
Lounge ceiling was crazed with hairline cracks. Now completely flat, and they explained exactly when we could paint it.
Whole house skimmed after our extension was built. Kept pace with the builder and left every room ready to decorate.
Old lath and plaster wall was boarded out then skimmed. Talked me through the options honestly before quoting.
Quoted on the Monday, started the following week, finished on the day they said. No surprises on price.
Patch repairs in three bedrooms plus a full hallway ceiling skim. Tidy work and genuinely nice lads to have in the house.
Skimmed over textured walls in our rental flat. You would never know what was underneath it now.

Yes. We carry public liability insurance and can send the certificate over with your quote if you or your builder need it on file.
Ten years on the plastering itself. If cracking or a defect comes back to how we applied or prepared the surface, we return and put it right at no cost.
Yes. We do not subcontract. The person who quotes your job is on site doing the work, which is why our diary is booked a few weeks ahead at busy times.
No. Quotes are free and written, with no obligation. Clear photos are often enough for straightforward rooms, otherwise we come out and measure up.
Yes — single ceilings, patch repairs, socket chases and doorway infills. There is a minimum half-day charge, so small jobs are often best grouped together.
Regularly. We work to a builder’s programme on extensions, conversions and new builds, and can price a full plastering package for a site.
Floors and any remaining furniture are sheeted before we mix, edges are masked, and all waste and sheeting leaves with us at the end of the job.
