A flat, cleanly finished wall is the last thing you notice and the first thing you would if it went wrong. BN1 skims and plasters walls and ceilings, boards out and dry lines new work, and renders outside, whether it is one tired room brought back to life or a whole extension taken from bare block to a ready-to-decorate finish.
Scope scales with the project, but these are the things we get right as standard on any plastering project across Brighton and Sussex.
Tired, cracked or artexed walls and ceilings skimmed back to a flat, smooth finish that takes paint straight off the trowel.
Fresh plaster over new blockwork and boards on extensions and alterations, floated and finished so the new space matches the rest of the house.
Stud walls, ceilings and dot-and-dab dry lining boarded out square and true, ready to skim or tape and joint.
Sand and cement and through-coloured renders to walls, extensions and boundary features, laid on flat and left weathertight.
Room skimmed to a flat, ready-to-paint finish
Walls and ceiling re-skimmed throughout
Hallway walls skimmed and made good
External render to a new extension bayYes. As long as the surface is sound we can skim straight over artex and tired plaster to bring it back to a flat, modern finish. Where the wall has blown or is beyond a skim we will hack off and re-float it, and we will tell you which it needs before we start.
Very often, yes. On our own extensions and alterations the plastering is part of the same job, so the new rooms are handed over ready to decorate. We also take on plastering and rendering on its own for other jobs across Sussex.
Fresh plaster needs to dry out fully before it is painted, which is usually a couple of weeks depending on the room, the season and how many coats have gone on. We will let you know when it has gone the right even colour and is ready for a mist coat.
Based in Brighton, we cover the city and the wider Sussex area as a matter of course.
A quick call is usually enough to work out whether your plastering project is one for us. No detail is too small.
