Preparation
We look at the surface first and discuss any preparation it needs. A fresh finish is only one part of the job.

Our story
Good plastering starts with what’s underneath
When you’re having work done, you want to know what needs fixing, what it will involve and what you’re paying for. That’s where we start. Plastering Service London carries out internal plastering and external rendering for homes, flats and commercial properties across the capital.
Our experience spans more than 20 years, from small patches and single ceilings to rooms being renovated and external rendering projects. The size of the job matters, but so does the surface we’re working on. We consider the existing plaster, the preparation needed and the finish you want before discussing the approach.
You don’t need to know the name of a plastering technique before getting in touch. Tell us what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to change. A few clear photos are a useful starting point; where they don’t tell the whole story, we can discuss an assessment.

Our services
Plastering services across London
Some jobs need a new finish; others need more preparation first. Here’s the work we can discuss with you.
Wall & ceiling skimming
A fresh skim creates a smooth finish over suitable existing plaster or plasterboard. Tell us whether you’re updating a room, replacing a ceiling finish or preparing for decorating. More about skimming.
Full plastering
Plastering for individual rooms and wider refurbishments. We consider the condition of the walls and ceilings before discussing the preparation and finish required.
Plaster repairs
Local repairs for holes, cracks and damaged plaster. Send a close-up and a wider photo so we can see both the affected area and where it sits on the wall or ceiling.
Plasterboarding
Plasterboarding and finishing for walls and ceilings where boarding is appropriate. Include room dimensions and any details of existing boards when you enquire.
Rendering
Rendering for property exteriors, with preparation and finish considered together. Photos of the whole elevation and any damaged areas help explain the scope. Explore rendering services.
K-Rend & silicone render
K-Rend and silicone render options for suitable exterior surfaces. We can discuss the look you want and the existing background before considering the finish.
How we work
From first conversation to finished surface
Understanding the surface and scope first helps us recommend the right approach.
Tell Us About Your Project →Tell us what you need
Call, WhatsApp or email with your postcode, the rooms or exterior areas involved, and a brief description of the work.
Share photos or arrange an assessment
Include a wider view as well as close-ups. Photos help start the conversation; some surfaces need an assessment before the scope is clear.
Agree the scope
We discuss the surfaces, preparation and finish required. This is also the time to talk about access, timing and any other work happening at the property.
Complete the plastering
The agreed work is carried out with attention to preparation and finish. Ask us about the next steps for your surface before arranging decoration.
Planning your work
Tell us a little about the property
A useful enquiry doesn’t have to be long. Your postcode, a few photos and approximate measurements give us much more to work with than a room name alone.
For a London flat, mention the floor and how the property is accessed. For an occupied home, let us know how the room is being used. If you’re coordinating a renovation, tell us which other trades are involved and when you hope to have the plastering done.

Before you get in touch
A few questions we can help with
Do you take on small plaster repairs?
Yes. Our work includes local plaster repairs, individual rooms and ceilings, as well as larger renovations. Send photos and an idea of the size of the area when you enquire.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are a useful starting point. Include a wide view, close-ups of the damage, approximate measurements and your postcode. Some jobs need an assessment before the preparation and scope can be confirmed.
Do I need skimming or more extensive plastering?
That depends on the existing surface and the finish you want. We consider its condition before discussing whether a skim is suitable or whether more preparation is needed. You don’t need to decide this before contacting us.
What affects the cost of plastering?
The area to be covered, the condition of the surface, preparation, access and the type of finish all affect the scope of a job. A small repair and a whole room need different allowances, so a quotation should be based on the actual work involved.
Do you cover my part of London?
We offer plastering services across London. Send your postcode with your enquiry so we can discuss the location, access and arrangements for your project.
Do you carry out external work too?
Yes. Alongside internal plastering, skimming and repairs, our services include external rendering, K-Rend and silicone render finishes for suitable property exteriors.

Our work, shown through real London projects
Experience and approach
Plastering Service London states more than 20 years in the trade. Our published project examples show interior skimming, repair preparation and external rendering. We begin by discussing the background, the areas included and the intended finish, rather than assuming every surface only needs a skim.
Examples you can inspect
See the whole-flat skimming work in Greenford, crack preparation and mesh reinforcement in Barons Court, and the interior wall refresh in Hounslow. These are existing project accounts and photographs from our own site.
Getting a clear quotation
Send your postcode, wide photographs and close-ups of damage, and explain whether the property is occupied or other trades are involved. We can then discuss scope, preparation, access and the next step.
