The service

What this covers.

Plastering is a wet finish on a wall or ceiling. Dry lining is plasterboard fixed to a wall or a stud, then jointed or skimmed. We ask which one you need before we treat them as the same job.

  • Patching and making good after other work
  • Skimming over sound plaster and over plasterboard
  • Replastering walls that are blown, cracked, or beyond a skim
  • Dry lining to walls and stud partitions, taped and jointed or skimmed
  • Ceiling repairs and reskimming, once any leak has been dealt with
  • A free quotation that names the rooms and the finish

How it works

How the job is arranged.

  1. 01

    Call

    Describe the rooms and whether it is plaster, board, or a ceiling. Photos of cracks or hollow patches help.

  2. 02

    Agree the finish

    We confirm which walls, whether it is a skim or a replaster, and when the work can be done. The quotation is free.

  3. 03

    Finish it ready to decorate

    The agreed surfaces are plastered or boarded and left ready for decoration. We tell you how long to leave them before painting.

A skim, a board, or a replaster

A skim is a thin finishing coat over a surface that is still sound. Dry lining is the right job when you are adding a wall or covering a surface with board. A replaster is for plaster that is blown or falling off. We name which one you are being quoted.

If a ceiling was damaged by water, the leak needs to be stopped before plaster goes back on. We will ask that on the first call.

Ready to decorate

Fresh plaster needs time to dry before paint. Board that is only taped and jointed is a different finish from a skim over the board. The quotation says which one you are getting, and how long to leave it.

FAQ

Questions about plastering.

Plastering and dry lining are booked across Newcastle, Gateshead, and the North East. Tell us the rooms, and whether you need a patch, a skim, boarding, or a full replaster.

Do you plaster whole rooms?

Yes. Tell us how many rooms and whether it is a patch, a skim, or a full replaster.

Do you dry line as well?

Yes. We board walls and stud partitions, then tape and joint them or skim them. Say whether the studs are already up.

Do you repair ceilings?

Yes. We repair cracks and reskim ceilings that are sound enough to take a new coat. If the damage came from a leak, the leak needs to be fixed first.
