Why Choose Our Wall & Ceiling Plastering Services?

Transforming tired interiors with expert plaster skimming

Old walls often carry the scars of years of wallpapering, minor shifts, or general wear and tear. Our skimming service involves applying a thin, smooth coat of plaster over existing walls or plasterboard to hide imperfections. It is an ideal solution for those renovating older properties in South Lanarkshire who want that modern feel without the cost of full reconstruction. Our team works efficiently to minimise dust and disruption, leaving you with a glass-smooth finish that is ready for painting or wallpapering within days.

How do I fix damaged plasterboard or dated Artex?

Many homeowners in the Lanark area face the challenge of dated Artex patterns or damaged plasterboard from leaks and accidents. We specialise in modernising these spaces. Our team can safely over-skim Artex or replace sections of damaged board using modern dry lining techniques. This not only improves the look of your room but can also offer better thermal and acoustic properties. If you have suffered water damage or minor cracks, our repair service blends seamlessly with your existing decor to make your walls look like new again.

Specialist plastering for new extensions and loft conversions

Building a new extension or converting a loft is an excellent way to add value to your property. To ensure your new space feels perfectly integrated with the rest of your home, high-quality plastering is essential. We work closely with homeowners across Lanarkshire to provide comprehensive plastering for new builds and extensions, from the initial plasterboarding to the final finishing coat. Our attention to detail ensures your new walls and ceilings are perfectly level, creating a professional finish that lasts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our expert wall and ceiling plastering services in Lanark, Scotland

How much does it cost to have a room skimmed in South Lanarkshire?

+

The price depends on the size of the room and what state the walls are in. If the old plaster is falling off, it takes a bit more work than just a quick skim over new boards. We always come out to see the job first so we can give you a fair and honest price that stays fixed.

Can you get rid of dated Artex ceilings in my home?

+

Yes, we do this all the time. Many older houses in Lanark have that heavy texture on the ceilings. We can either scrape it back and skim over it or, if it’s very deep, we might suggest over-boarding with new plasterboard first. This gives you a perfectly flat, modern look without the mess of trying to sand it down.

How long does it take for new plaster to dry before I can paint?

+

It depends on the time of year and how warm your house is. Usually, a skim coat takes about three to five days to turn from a dark brown to a light pink colour. Once it is a uniform pale pink, it is ready for a mist coat and your final paint. We will give you advice on how to look after it while it dries.

What is the best way to repair holes or cracks in my plasterboard?

+

For small cracks, a bit of tape and a patch of plaster usually does the trick. If there is a big hole from a leak or an accident, we cut out the damaged bit and put in a new piece of board before skimming it. When we are finished, you will not even be able to tell where the damage was.

Is dry lining better than traditional two-coat plastering?

+

Dry lining is often quicker and cleaner because we fix plasterboards to the walls and then skim over them. It is great for insulation and getting a flat finish on wonky old masonry. Traditional two-coat work is still brilliant for certain repairs or when you want that solid, old-school feel. We can look at your walls and tell you which way is best for your project.
