Interior Plastering and Skimming Services Across Sunderland

For a typical room in decent condition, expect a few hundred pounds for walls, with the ceiling extra if you want it done at the same time. Condition is everything though, so we confirm the exact figure with a free written quote after seeing the room.

Mostly because of what each plasterer plans to do about preparation. A cheap quote that skips sealing, bonding or dealing with blown patches becomes an expensive one when the finish fails. Our quotes spell out what is included so you can compare like with like.

If the existing plaster is solid and just looks tired, a skim is enough. If it sounds hollow when tapped, is crumbling, or has been patched too many times, a full re-plaster or overboard gives a result that lasts. We check by inspection and tell you straight.

Often, yes. The cottages are solid-walled with older plaster backgrounds, so we check what the existing finish is sitting on before skimming. Done properly they finish beautifully, and we have plastered plenty of them.

Yes, once the leak itself is fixed. We seal the stain so it cannot bleed through, repair or replace any damaged board, and re-skim so the ceiling looks new. Painting over a stain without sealing it never works for long.

A typical two or three bedroom terrace takes around a week for a full re-skim, depending on how much preparation and boarding is involved. We give you a day-by-day plan with the quote so you know which rooms are out of action when.

Once the plaster has dried to an even pale pink, normally around a week. Start with a watered-down mist coat of emulsion, then your finish coats. We leave every customer with drying and decorating guidance before we go.

Yes. The written quote is the price, and anything that could affect it is flagged and discussed before we start, not added to the invoice afterwards. That is the only fair way to price plastering.

We do. Our Houghton-Le-Spring base is only a few miles from the city, and everywhere in Sunderland sits comfortably inside our 20-mile working radius, from the coast to the outer estates.

Yes. Shops, offices, salons and rental properties across the city, with the same insured, written-quote approach as our domestic work. We can schedule around trading hours where that helps.

Fully insured for domestic and commercial plastering. We are happy to provide confirmation alongside your quote if you need it for a landlord, letting agent or management company.
