PLASTERING, SKIMMING, OR DRY LINING, WHICH ONE DO YOU REQUIRE?

Whether you're starting fresh or repairing existing walls, we offer expert plastering, skimming, and dry lining to suit your space. Not sure which one you need?

Plastering creates a solid, traditional base directly on brick or blockwork.

Skimming is a thin top coat applied over existing plaster or plasterboard to create a smooth, paint-ready surface.

Dry lining uses plasterboard sheets for faster installation, ideal for new builds or where minimal drying time is needed.

Skimming provides a fresh, smooth surface by applying a thin layer of plaster over existing walls or ceilings. It’s perfect for covering minor imperfections and preparing surfaces for painting or wallpaper. This technique is quick, clean, and highly effective.
