Internal Plastering Skimming in Shoreham-By-Sea, West Sussex

Most of the homeowners we chat with in Shoreham are looking for 'skimming.' It's essentially the art of applying a thin, final coat of Multi-Finish plaster to create a perfectly flat surface. It sounds straightforward, but it’s all in the timing and the technique. We handle everything from single feature walls to entire property refurbishments across the BN43 area. If your walls are looking a bit worse for wear—perhaps from years of wallpaper removal or minor knocks—a fresh skim coat is often the quickest way to make the whole room feel brand new again. You'll find it makes your decorating much easier, too, as the paint glides on without needing endless tubs of filler or heavy lining paper.

Let’s be honest, those textured Artex ceilings from decades ago haven't aged particularly well. If you’re tired of looking at swirls or stipples every time you lie on the sofa, we have a few ways to fix it. Often, the best route is 'over-boarding'—where we fix new sheets of plasterboard directly over the old ceiling—followed by a clean skim of plaster. This not only gives you a modern, flat look but can also add a bit of extra fire protection and soundproofing. Because older Artex can sometimes contain asbestos, we always handle these jobs with the utmost care and professional advice, ensuring your Shoreham home stays safe while we modernise it.

Sometimes you don't need a whole room done; you just need a professional to fix a problem. Have you noticed a hollow sound when you tap your walls, or perhaps a crack that keeps reappearing? This is often 'blown' plaster, where the bond between the material and the masonry has failed. Our team are experts at patch repairs that blend in seamlessly. We use high-quality scrim tape to reinforce joints and prevent those pesky cracks from returning, and we'll install crisp metal angle beads on any corners to ensure they stay sharp and impact-resistant. No job is too small for us to take a look at.

We know the biggest worry when hiring a plasterer is the mess. It's a wet trade, and it can be dusty, but we pride ourselves on being the tidy ones. We treat your home in Shoreham or Southwick like it’s our own. This means we spend the time properly masking up, using heavy-duty floor protection, and clearing away every scrap of debris before we leave. You won't find any plaster splashes on your skirting boards or grey footprints on your carpets when we’re finished. We want you to be able to enjoy your new, smooth walls immediately, not spend your weekend cleaning up after us.
