I Create Clean, Smooth Walls and Ceilings Across Colchester and Suffolk
Good plastering makes a huge difference to how your home feels. I carry out all types of plastering, including skimming, bonding, dry-lining and full room preparation, to give you surfaces that are ready for decorating and built to last.
Whether you’re renovating one room or updating your whole home, I’ll guide you on what needs doing, explain the options clearly and complete the work with care and a tidy approach from start to finish.
Common Reasons to Re-Plaster a Room
Homeowners often choose to re-plaster when they notice:
- Cracks, dents or uneven walls
- Old plaster starting to crumble or separate
- Damage from leaks or previous repairs
- Outdated finishes that need refreshing
- Artex or textured ceilings that need covering
- A full renovation where everything needs modernising
- New electrics or plumbing work that has disturbed walls
- A desire for a smoother, cleaner finish before painting
