Service overview

Done right, commercial plastering & skimming adds 25+ years of value.

Commercial plastering lives and dies by programme. Follow-on trades cannot start until the walls are flat, dry and signed off, so a slipped week on plaster becomes a slipped week on handover. We resource jobs properly, work to your sequence, and hit the dates we quote.

Our process

Five steps, zero surprises.

Same process on every job, domestic, commercial, single-room or full house.

Office fit-outs are usually the most finish-critical work we do. Open-plan floorplates combine long uninterrupted wall runs with strong daylight from glazed elevations and feature lighting in reception and meeting spaces. That combination is unforgiving, so we specify Level 5 in those zones as standard, applying a skim coat across the full board face rather than only jointing and fastener heads. Columns, bulkheads and riser cupboards get hand-finished after the machine work is complete, because those details determine how the space reads at close range.

Retail and hospitality units are dominated by trading hours and landlord conditions. We routinely work night shifts inside shopping centres and high street units, mobilising after close and demobilising before opening, with all plant, waste and protection removed each night. Because retail programmes are short and immovable, we resource these jobs heavily at the front end rather than trickling labour across the full duration.

Schools, colleges and academies concentrate almost all of their refurbishment into summer, Easter and half-term windows. We plan these as fixed-duration works with defined drying periods built in, so decoration and flooring can still complete before pupils return. Safeguarding is treated seriously, DBS-checked operatives where required, sign-in discipline, segregated welfare and clear separation between working areas and any occupied part of the site.

HMOs, apartment blocks and build-to-rent schemes are volume work where repeatability matters more than bespoke detail. Rooms are near-identical, so once a room type is set out and agreed we run the same sequence through the building, which keeps quality consistent and duration predictable. Fire-rated board specifications, correct jointing and full skim coverage all matter here for compliance as well as appearance, and we work to the fire strategy rather than around it.

Care homes, GP surgeries and clinical spaces need infection-control awareness alongside plastering competence. Work areas are fully sealed with temporary screens, dust extraction runs at source, and cleaning is daily rather than at the end of the week. Wall finishes in these buildings often receive hygienic cladding or wipeable coatings, so substrate flatness and full curing matter more than usual before the follow-on trade arrives.

Industrial and warehouse projects tend to involve office pods, welfare cores and mezzanine accommodation built inside a larger shed. Access equipment, high-level boarding and coordination with steelwork and sprinkler installers dominate the planning. We price access honestly at tender rather than discovering at week two that a scissor lift is needed and issuing a variation.

Make-good and dilapidations packages are their own discipline. Landlords reinstating a vacant unit need damaged areas repaired invisibly against surviving finishes, which requires careful feathering, suction control and sometimes a full-wall skim rather than a patch. We will always tell you when patching will show and a full re-skim is the cheaper route to a lettable unit.
