Why Choose Our Wall & Ceiling Plastering Services?

How do I get a smooth finish on my walls?

Many older homes in South Lanarkshire have walls that have become uneven, pitted, or damaged over the years. Our skimming and re-skimming service is the ideal solution for these common issues. Our local plasterers apply a thin, precise coat of plaster over existing surfaces or new plasterboard to create a glass-smooth finish. This process eliminates minor imperfections and provides a durable, crisp surface that makes decorating much easier and ensures a more professional look for your interior space.

Modernise your rooms by removing dated Artex ceilings

Textured ceilings were once a staple of home design, but today most homeowners prefer a clean, flat aesthetic. We specialise in Artex removal and over-skimming, transforming dated rooms into modern, bright spaces. Our plastering team takes great care to ensure the transition is seamless, leaving you with a ceiling that looks brand new. Removing heavy textures can also make your rooms feel larger and more contemporary, instantly adding value to your property.

Expert plaster repairs for cracks and water damage

From small cracks caused by natural building movement to significant patches of water damage following a roof leak, we handle plaster repairs of all sizes. Our goal is always a seamless blend; once we have finished the repair and you have painted the area, you should not be able to tell where the damage originally occurred. We work efficiently to restore the structural integrity and appearance of your plasterwork, preventing small issues from becoming larger, more expensive problems down the line.

Efficient plasterboarding and dry lining solutions in Larkhall

For those undertaking larger renovation projects or building new partitions, our dry lining and plasterboarding services offer a fast and effective way to prepare your walls. This method is excellent for adding a layer of insulation and creating perfectly straight surfaces on bare masonry. Our contractors are skilled in ensuring all joints are taped and filled correctly before the final skim coat is applied, ensuring a sturdy and long-lasting result for any room in your house.

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.
