Plastering walls and ceilings
Smooth, straight interior surfaces ready to paint, in renovation and new builds alike.
Plastering: our expertise
Plastering means applying a coat, usually gypsum-based, to interior walls and ceilings to get flat, smooth surfaces. It is the step that makes the difference between a bare interior and one ready to be painted or papered.
In new builds, we plaster bare masonry. In renovations, we repair and level old plaster that is cracked, loose or uneven, after suitable surface preparation.
We carefully protect floors, joinery and occupied rooms, and fit the necessary corner beads for straight, strong edges. The aim: an even result with no surprises when it comes to painting.

Why it matters
Energy
Good plastering contributes to the airtightness of the walls, which helps limit heat loss.
Weatherproofing
Plaster is not waterproofing, but a sound, crack-free surface makes rooms easier to maintain.
Appearance
Straight, smooth walls: the basis for a good paint finish and a well-finished interior.
Frequently asked questions
How long before I can paint?
The plaster must dry completely before painting. The time depends on thickness, season and ventilation of the rooms; we tell you when you can paint.
Do you plaster in an occupied house?
Yes. We protect the rooms and organise the work room by room if needed.
Can you plaster over old plaster?
Yes, if the old surface is stable. Loose areas are removed and repaired first.
Plastering or plasterboard?
Both have their advantages. Boards are quick and allow partitions or suspended ceilings; traditional plastering works very well on masonry. We advise you depending on the project.
Does plastering create a lot of dust?
Plaster itself creates little dust; it mainly comes from preparation and any sanding. We protect the rooms and clean up at the end of the job.
