Considerate and Careful Preparation for Plastering

We understand that emptying a room entirely isn’t always practical. That’s why, if any furniture needs to stay, we carefully cover it with protective plastic sheeting. We extend the same care to your floors and carpets, shielding them from any plastering splashes or spills. We also carefully remove and safeguard any electrical fittings like sockets and switches, ensuring a clear and safe space for plastering.

Our Liverpool based plasterers are not just trade-accredited for their high-quality finishes; they’re also known for their quick yet considerate working style. They’re committed to causing the least possible disturbance to your routine and home, making the plastering process as smooth and hassle-free for you as possible.

We undertake several key preparations before beginning work to ensure a smooth, efficient, and high-quality plastering process. These preparations are critical for protecting the property and achieving the best possible results.

Site Assessment and Planning: Initially, the plasterer will assess the site to understand the scope of work and identify any potential challenges. This includes checking the condition of the walls or ceilings, noting any damp issues, cracks, or other defects that need addressing.
Room Clearing and Furniture Protection: If possible, the room should be cleared of furniture and fittings to create a spacious working area. For items that cannot be moved, such as large furniture or built-in fixtures, these are covered with dust sheets or plastic sheeting to protect them from dust, debris, and splashes.
Floor Covering: Floors are protected with drop cloths or plastic sheeting, especially in areas directly beneath the work site. This helps in easy cleanup and prevents damage to carpets or flooring.
Removing or Covering Electrical Outlets and Fixtures: Electrical switches, sockets, and light fixtures should be either removed or adequately covered. This not only protects them from plaster but also ensures safety during the plastering process.
Prepping the Surface: The surface to be plastered is properly prepared. This includes removing old plaster, sanding down surfaces, or applying a bonding agent to ensure the new plaster adheres well.
Ventilation and Dust Control: Good ventilation is crucial, both for the comfort of the plasterer and the setting of the plaster. However, dust control measures will be in place to minimise the spread of dust throughout the property.
Material Preparation: Mixing plaster to the right consistency is crucial. This is done just before application to ensure the best results.

Expertise in Plaster Skimming

Recognised as multi-finish plaster specialists, we excel in preparing ceilings and walls for painting and wallpaper application. This technique is highly favoured for its ability to create a flawless base for decoration. However, its success hinges on the underlying wall condition; it’s imperative that there are no significant issues like moisture damage or movement cracks.

We conduct a thorough evaluation of your existing plaster to identify any such damage. We ensure that your walls are impeccably prepared prior to applying the plaster skim coat.

Our plaster skimming professionals are not only fully qualified but also bring a wealth of experience in both domestic and commercial projects. Specialising in skimming plaster across Liverpool, we guarantee the ideal finish for your walls and ceilings, setting the perfect stage for decoration.

Plaster skimming is an essential technique employed to refine rough plasterwork, making it ideal for decoration. It’s an effective method not only for raw plaster surfaces but also for plasterboard. If your walls or ceilings are structurally intact, our skimming service can seamlessly cover minor flaws like small cracks and pre-existing textures.

Our process involves meticulously smoothing the plaster skim coat, ensuring an impeccably seamless finish. We offer our expert skimming services throughout Liverpool.

Skim plastering for walls and ceilings

We are highly skilled at skim plastering.

It’s also good for hiding hairline cracks, as long as there’s no underlying structural problem.

Our plasterers can advise on whether your walls or ceilings can be skimmed, or if multiple layers of plaster are needed. We’re also able to skim over plasterboard to achieve a superior finish.
