PLASTERING
Plastering in Fulham
Skimming, patch repairs and making good after rewires, plumbing and kitchen or bathroom work.

In older homes the plaster has often been patched many times. We decide whether a wall needs patching, skimming or boarding, and say so before quoting.
We do a lot of making good after our own work: chases from a rewire, holes from moved pipework and walls opened up for new kitchens and bathrooms.

Areas we cover for plastering
From our shop at 287 Munster Road, Fulham. Each area page has more about the homes there and what we do in them.
Which do you need?
We tap and check the wall first, then tell you which is needed before quoting.
| When it is right | What we do | |
|---|---|---|
| Patch repair | Small areas of cracked or damaged plaster on an otherwise sound wall | Cut back, bond and fill, then feather in |
| Skim | Sound walls that are uneven, crazed or patched many times | A thin finishing coat over the whole wall or ceiling |
| Re-board | Loose, hollow or crumbling plaster, or walls behind tiles in wet areas | Strip back and fix new boards, then skim or tile |
Before you paint
- New plaster must dry fully. It turns lighter and even in colour when ready.
- Seal it with a mist coat before normal emulsion.
- Do not wallpaper or tile onto damp plaster.
- Cracks that come back may be movement in the building; we will point that out.
Questions
Can you skim over old plaster?
Often, if it is sound. Loose areas are removed and repaired first.
How long before I can paint?
Once the plaster has dried fully and turned an even, lighter colour. We tell you when it is ready, and can decorate it for you.
Is it messy?
We sheet up and clean as we go.
BATHROOMS
Walls behind a new bathroom
Plastering is part of almost every bathroom renovation, especially in rooms next to a new shower or bath.
