Interior Plastering

I offer a comprehensive range of interior plastering services to bring your dream space to life. I use only the finest materials and time-tested techniques to ensure a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Here’s how I can enhance your interior walls and ceilings:

  • Float & Set: This is the foundation for a smooth, level surface. I expertly apply a base coat of plaster to walls and ceilings, filling in any gaps or unevenness.

  • Drylining: A great alternative to traditional plastering, drylining involves attaching pre-made plasterboards to a metal framework. It’s a quicker and less messy process, perfect for creating new partitions or renovating existing ones.

  • Dot and Dab: This method involves fixing plasterboards directly to walls using strategically placed adhesive “dots” and plaster “dabs” for added strength. It’s a cost-effective solution for achieving a smooth finish on walls.

  • Plasterboarding of Walls and Ceilings: I competently install plasterboards onto walls and ceilings, creating a solid and even surface for further finishing.

  • Skimming: This is the final touch that creates a perfectly smooth and professional finish. I apply a thin layer of fine plaster over the prepared surface, meticulously concealing any imperfections and leaving your walls and ceilings ready for painting or decorating.

External Rendering

I offer a variety of external rendering solutions to elevate the look and functionality of your property. I have extensive experience in using top-quality materials and advanced techniques to create a weatherproof, durable, and aesthetically pleasing exterior.

Here’s how I can transform the exterior of your building:

  • Sand and Cement Render: This traditional and cost-effective render provides a solid, weatherproof base for your exterior walls. It’s perfect for achieving a classic, textured finish.

  • Thin Coat Silicone Render: A modern option known for its flexibility and weather resistance. This thin render provides excellent protection against cracking and is available in a wide range of colors.

  • Scratch Back Renders: This technique involves applying a two-coat render system with a roughened surface created in the first coat. This allows for better adhesion of the final layer and a variety of textured finishes.

  • Pebble Dash: A popular choice for its decorative appeal and durability. Pebble dash incorporates small stones into the render, providing a textured and weather-resistant exterior finish.

  • Lime Render: A traditional and breathable render ideal for older properties. Lime render allows walls to naturally release moisture, preventing damp problems.

  • Concrete Repairs – Sika 615 Monotop: I offer expert repairs for damaged concrete using Sika 615 Monotop, a high-performance, one-component repair mortar. This ensures a strong and lasting solution for cracks and spalling.

  • Roughcast: This textured render incorporates larger stones than pebble dash, creating a bold and rustic aesthetic. It’s perfect for adding a touch of character to your exterior walls.

  • Tyrolean Finish:A decorative render finish known for its distinctive textured appearance. This finish is aesthetically pleasing and also provides enhanced weather resistance and durability. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a unique and attractive exterior wall treatment. Tyrolean can be applied white or coloured. It can also be painted over.
