Service 03 · Plastering & screeding
Straight walls, crisp corners, a surface ready for paint
Sand-cement plaster, render, skimming and floor screeds — the hidden layer that makes every later finish look right.
Paint and tiles can only be as good as the surface beneath them. Our plasterers work to dots, screeds and string lines so walls come out plumb, corners sharp and window reveals consistent. We use clean, well-graded sand and a sensible sand-cement mix, apply in controlled coats, then keep the plaster damp while it cures so it does not shrink and craze in the sun. Inside, a thin skim coat of POP or ready-mixed skimming gives the smooth face that emulsion and satin paints need.
What’s included
- Internal sand-cement plaster to walls, columns and beams
- External render with drip lines, sills and neat window reveals
- Skimming in POP or ready-mixed skim for a smooth, paint-ready face
