Plastering is the single most-visible trade in a renovation. Every imperfection, bowed walls, telegraphed joints, blown patches, shows up the moment the paint goes on. We get it right first time so your decorator never has to compensate. ### What it is Plastering is the application of a smooth gypsum finish over walls and ceilings. We work over plasterboard (skim-only), bare brick or block (bonding + skim), and existing painted plaster that's failed (over-skim or full re-plaster). The result is a flat, dust-free, decoration-ready surface. ### Who it's for Homeowners renovating a room, landlords prepping a let, builders needing a reliable second-fix trade, and developers handing over new builds. We work cleanly around lived-in homes, dust sheets down, floors protected, waste removed each day. ### When you need it Book plastering after first-fix electrics and plumbing, before second-fix joinery and decoration. For repair work, blown plaster, water-damaged ceilings, hairline cracks reappearing through paint, get us in early before the issue spreads. ### Why a specialist matters A botched skim can't be hidden by paint. Trowel marks, ripples and sanding-grade finishes telegraph through emulsion, especially in raking light. A qualified plasterer delivers a polished closure that takes paint evenly, lasts decades, and adds measurable value at resale. The cost of getting it wrong ## What happens if plastering is done badly, or not at all Plaster failures rarely stay cosmetic. Left alone, they pull paint off, hide damp, and turn a one-room job into a full strip-out. Here's what we see most often. ### Blown plaster spreads A single hollow patch grows as the surrounding bond fails. What looks like a 50p coin today is a foot-wide section within a year, and the brickwork behind is usually damp. ### Hidden damp damage Skimming over an active damp problem traps moisture against the wall. Salts wick through, paint blisters, and the new plaster fails within months. Diagnosis has to come first. ### Cheap DIY skims Under-mixed plaster, missed PVA, single-coat shortcuts, these are the calls we get most. A redo costs more than doing it once, properly, the first time. ### Ceiling collapse risk Old lath-and-plaster ceilings that crack, sag or shed dust are end-of-life. Overboard-and-skim or full replacement is safer and quieter than waiting for it to come down. Our process ## Five steps, zero surprises.

In depth ## Plastering systems we install Different substrates need different specifications. Here's how we approach the jobs we're called out for most often across Rochdale, Bury, Oldham, Bolton and the Rossendale Valley. Most domestic plastering falls into three categories: skim-only over fresh plasterboard, bonding-and-skim onto bare masonry, and over-skim onto sound existing plaster. Each demands a different mix, suction control, and number of coats. We never apply a one-size approach, the substrate dictates the system. On older Rochdale and Lancashire terraces we frequently encounter solid 9-inch brick walls, lime plaster, and patches of cement render from past repairs. These mixed substrates require careful suction balancing using PVA or SBR, and sometimes a bonding coat to bridge cement and gypsum. Getting this wrong is the single biggest cause of blown patches a year later. Ceilings are their own discipline. We overboard tired lath-and-plaster with 12.5mm or 15mm plasterboard fixed to the joists, scrim the joints, and skim in two tight coats. The result is quieter, fire-rated, and visually flat, without the risk of a heritage ceiling shedding in the night. For commercial fit-outs and new build sites we work to programme, coordinate with M&E trades, and finish to a Level 4 or Level 5 standard depending on the lighting brief. Open-plan offices and retail units are often Level 5 because raking light from feature lighting will expose anything less. ResidentialDomestic work prioritises minimal disruption, dust sheets, sealed doorways, daily waste removal, and finishing one room before opening the next. Weekend and evening starts on request. CommercialCommercial work prioritises programme, we work to your main contractor's sequence, hit drying-time milestones for follow-on trades, and deliver to a documented finish standard with sign-off photos. ### Materials & systems we use - British Gypsum Multi-Finish Standard 2-coat skim across walls and ceilings, the industry workhorse. - Thistle Bonding Coat Undercoat over bare masonry, dense blocks and engineering brick where suction is high. - Thistle Hardwall High-impact undercoat for hallways, stairwells and commercial corridors. - Knauf MP75 (machine plaster) Used on larger commercial pours for speed, flatness and consistent thickness.
