The following is a list of some of the internal plastering services that we offer
Plasterboard Installation
Plasterboard is ubiquitous in the world of construction, offering endless installation possibilities for both walls and ceilings in a variety of settings. This adaptable material is available in various types, including those with additional features like mould and moisture resistance, condensation barriers, extra fire resistance, insulation, and noise reduction properties. With such a diverse range of plasterboards available, you're sure to find some that meet your requirements.
Float & Set
For a timeless and enduring finish, embrace the beauty of float and set plastering, also known as wet plastering. This technique involves applying a wet plaster base coat to the substrate, followed by a skim coat plaster finish, resulting in a classic appearance. While it may take longer than dry lining or dot and dab methods, float and set plastering requires additional drying time between the two plaster coats and a final dry-out period, but the wait is well worth it. The outcome is a smooth and durable finish that will stand the test of time, adding an elegant touch to any space for years to come.
Dot & Dab
When it comes to attaching plasterboard to an interior masonry wall, nothing beats the dot and dab method. This technique involves bonding the plasterboard to the substrate using dots and dabs of drywall adhesive, providing a fast and efficient process for dry lining or hard plaster finishing before the final decoration. The dot and dab method is the ultimate solution, offering excellent insulation properties and soundproofing capabilities. With this quick and easy method, you can achieve a smooth and seamless finish in no time.
Dry Lining
If you're looking to speed things up, dry lining is the perfect choice! This technique offers a much faster alternative to traditional plastering for finishing interior wall and ceiling surfaces. By taping the joints between the plasterboards and applying joint compound, dry lining creates a sturdy and smooth surface, ready for any final decoration. It's an excellent option that saves time without compromising quality!
Plaster Patching
With plaster patching and repairs, you can swiftly revive your wall or ceiling surfaces to their former glory. Depending on the surface type, there are various methods available, such as plasterboard repair, lath and plaster repair, and hard plaster repair. Enlisting the help of a qualified professional is often crucial to ensuring a seamless and visually appealing result that blends seamlessly with the surrounding area. With expert assistance, your walls and ceilings will be brought back to their pristine condition in no time, leaving them looking as good as new!
Plaster Skimming
For a flawless surface ready for decorating, plaster skimming is the ideal choice! This technique involves applying a thin coat of plaster to walls or ceilings, resulting in a seamless finish. Whether you're working with plasterboard surfaces, existing hard plaster surfaces, or even Artex surfaces, plaster skimming effortlessly transforms your space. With minimal effort, you can achieve a polished and professional look, making plaster skimming the go-to solution for a stunning transformation!
The following is a list of some of the external rendering services that we offer
Sand & Cement Render
Sand and cement render is an incredibly flexible and adaptable solution that can be customised to suit a vast array of architectural styles and aesthetic tastes. This robust mixture of sand, cement, hydrated lime, and other additives creates a resilient bond with concrete, brick, and block surfaces, delivering unbeatable protection against the harshest weather conditions. With a wide range of finishes available, including smooth, textured, and patterned options, sand and cement render offers limitless possibilities for creating visually appealing and unique facades. But there's more! You can even paint sand and cement render to add extra interest and appeal to any building, making it an outstanding option for creating a polished and professional look!
Wet Dash
For a durable exterior wall coating that can withstand the elements, wet dash render, also known as roughcast, is the ideal choice. This textured coating incorporates gravel into the sand and cement render mix, creating a rough and rugged surface. Not only is wet dash render highly resilient, but it can also be painted to enhance its visual impact. Suitable for application on brick, blockwork, and concrete surfaces, it provides long-lasting protection, ensuring your walls maintain their pristine condition for years to come. Choose wet dash render for a hard-wearing solution that combines durability with aesthetic appeal!
Dry Dash
When it comes to a tough and durable exterior wall finish, dry dash render is worth considering! Also known as pebbledash render, it differs from wet dash render in that small stone pieces are thrown onto the soft sand and cement coating instead of being incorporated into it. Dry dash render is renowned for being tough, durable, long-lasting, cost-effective, and maintenance-free, making it a popular choice for exterior wall coating. If you're looking for an exterior wall finish that can withstand the harshest weather conditions while maintaining its stylish appearance, dry dash render may just be the top choice for you!

Lime Render
Step back in time with the timeless beauty of lime render! This traditional material has been used for centuries and is ideal for the renovation and restoration of older and historical buildings. Made from eco-friendly, natural, and breathable materials, lime render allows moisture to escape, which is particularly useful for older structures. Unlike modern cement-based renders, lime render is more forgiving of subtle movements within a building's structure and is less prone to cracking. Its permeable nature also ensures good ventilation and a healthy living environment. Whether you're reviving the past or giving it a modern twist, lime render is an excellent choice for your project!
