Skimming
A new finishing coat over sound walls and ceilings. It hides old paint, filler and hairline cracks, and is the quickest way to freshen up a room, a flat between tenants or a house going on the market.

Plastering Services for Bournemouth homes
Everything from a quick skim before you redecorate to a full re-plaster, handled by the same team from start to finish. Further afield? See our plastering in Dorset page.
Re-plastering
Blown, crumbling or badly patched plaster, often found in older houses, taken back to a sound base and built up again so the new finish lasts.
Cracked, sagging or uneven ceilings re-skimmed, or boarded and skimmed when they’re past repair, with coving fitted if you’d like a neat edge.
Holes and damaged patches left after rewiring, plumbing work or a leak, repaired and blended in so they don’t show once the wall is painted.
Plasterboard fixed to brick or stud walls to give straight walls in extensions, loft conversions and uneven older rooms, then skimmed ready to decorate.
Traditional sand and cement render for house fronts, extensions and garden walls, applied in coats to give a clean finish that protects the brickwork.

Houses, Flats and Period Homes across Bournemouth
Bournemouth has a real mix of homes: Victorian and Edwardian houses in areas like Boscombe, Westbourne and Southbourne, 1930s semis and bungalows, and a lot of flats, both purpose-built and converted. Each needs a slightly different approach.
In older houses we deal with lath and plaster ceilings, high rooms with original features and walls that have been patched many times. In flats and conversions, new plasterboard often meets old plaster, and the join needs care so it doesn’t crack later. In newer homes it’s usually a skim over tired walls or finishing a new extension.
Being close to the sea, houses here take a lot of wind and rain, so outside we also repair render and apply traditional sand and cement render to keep the brickwork protected.

Plastering in Bournemouth FAQs
Do you cover all of Bournemouth?
Yes. We’re based in Organford, between Poole and Wareham, and work right across Bournemouth, from Westbourne and Winton to Boscombe, Southbourne and Kinson. We also cover Poole, Christchurch and the rest of Dorset.
How much does a plasterer cost in Bournemouth?
It depends on the size of the room, the state of the existing plaster and whether it needs a skim, repairs or a full re-plaster. Ceilings, access and preparation affect the price too. We visit, look at the job and give you a free, no-obligation quote with the work and the price set out clearly.
Do you work in flats as well as houses?
Yes. We plaster in houses, flats and commercial premises. In a flat we keep the dust and mess inside your property, protect floors and furniture, and clear up before we leave.
Can you repair old plaster in a Victorian or Edwardian house?
Yes. We blend patch repairs into the existing walls, re-skim or re-plaster where the old plaster has failed, and board over lath and plaster ceilings that are past saving. Where it suits the building, we can use lime plaster on older solid walls.
How quickly can a room be plastered?
A single room is often skimmed in a day or two. Full re-plastering, ceilings and larger jobs take longer. We give you a realistic timescale with your quote, along with advice on how long to leave the plaster before you paint.
Can you work around tenants or business opening hours?
Yes. Tell us what works for you and we’ll plan the job around it. We’ve re-plastered commercial premises around their opening hours before.
Do you render houses in Bournemouth too?
Yes. We apply traditional sand and cement render to house fronts, extensions and garden walls across Bournemouth, and repair existing render that has cracked or blown.
