About the Area

Plastering for Ferndown bungalows and family homes

Ferndown grew quickly from the 1960s onwards, and much of it is bungalows and detached family homes on quiet estates. Those houses were often finished with textured Artex ceilings, and forty or fifty years on, many owners want them flat, bright and modern.

Settlement cracks along ceiling joints, dated coving and walls that have been patched after rewiring are the other common calls. As homes change hands, we are also asked to skim whole bungalows in one go, so everything is ready for new decoration before the owners move in.

Extensions and loft rooms are the third big part of our Ferndown work, especially around Tricketts Cross and West Parley. We work alongside your builder, board and skim the new rooms, and make the joins with the old house disappear.

How We Work

How We Work in Ferndown

Whether it is one Artex ceiling or a full extension, every Ferndown job follows the same steps.

01

Tell Us About the Room

Let us know what you want doing, the size of the room and what is on the walls or ceilings now. Photos of textured ceilings help a lot.

02

Check and Quote

We look at the surfaces, check older coatings before anything is disturbed, and send a written price with the method set out.

03

Seal, Board or Skim

Depending on the surface, we seal and bond it, board over it or cut out the damage, then lay on two finish coats and trowel them flat.

04

Finish and Clean Up

We light-check every surface, remove all waste and dust sheets, and tell you when the new plaster will be ready to paint.

Two-storey extension plastered start to finish. Kept pace with our builder and left it ready to decorate.
Jonathan P.
Ferndown — Extension plastering
Artex ceiling in the lounge was covered over and you would never know it was there. Huge difference to the room.
David R.
Poole — Artex covering
Quoted on the Monday, started the following week, finished on the day they said. No surprises on price.
Andrew L.
Kinson — Re-skimming
Skimmed our whole downstairs after we took the wallpaper off. Walls came up perfectly flat and they cleaned up every evening.
Sarah M.
Winton, Bournemouth — Wall & ceiling skimming
Old lath and plaster wall replaced with plasterboard and skimmed. Explained the options clearly before starting.
Rachel D.
Charminster — Dry lining
Ceiling came down after a bathroom leak upstairs. They boarded and skimmed it within two days of me calling.
Emma T.

Patch repairs in three bedrooms plus a hallway ceiling. Tidy work and genuinely nice lads to have in the house.

FAQs

Plastering questions from Ferndown customers

The questions we hear most from Ferndown customers. If you cannot see yours, just call.

01202 125594
How much does plastering cost in Ferndown?

Each wall and ceiling is priced on its condition, not by the hour. As a guide, a standard bedroom ceiling skim starts around £200, and we always confirm the price in writing first.

Do you work in West Parley and Stapehill?

Yes — and in Tricketts Cross, Longham, Hampreston, West Moors and the rest of BH22.

Can you cover the Artex ceilings throughout our bungalow?

Yes. We often do every ceiling in a bungalow in one visit. Light textures are sealed and skimmed; heavier ones are knocked back or boarded first. Older coatings are checked before any scraping.

Why does my ceiling crack along straight lines?

Straight cracks usually follow the joints between plasterboard sheets, where the joints were never taped properly. We scrim and fill the joints and skim over them so they stay closed.

Can you plaster our new extension?

Yes. We work to your builder’s programme, boarding and skimming the new rooms and making good where the extension meets the house.

Can you skim the whole house before we move in?

Yes. Doing every room at once is often the quickest and best-value way, and the house is ready to decorate as soon as it has dried.

Do you take away all the waste?

Always. Old Artex scrapings, offcuts, bags and dust sheets all leave with us.

How long does fresh plaster take to dry?

Usually three to seven days, longer in cold weather or on solid walls. It is ready for a mist coat once it is evenly pale.
