What our plastering service includes
New plastering
Plastering of fresh block or concrete walls and ceilings during construction or renovation, with straight lines and even thickness.
Repair plastering
Fixing cracks, holes, damaged corners and uneven patches left after removing fittings, wiring or old finishes.
Skim coat and smoothing
A thin finishing layer over existing walls to remove texture and marks and give a smooth surface before painting.
Exterior plastering
Rendering of boundary walls, facades and outdoor structures, prepared to handle heat and humidity.
Materials and methods
The right plaster depends on where it is used and what goes on top of it.
Cement plaster: common for exterior walls and areas that face moisture
Gypsum plaster: used on many interior walls and ceilings for a smooth finish
Skim and finishing coats: for a fine surface before paint
We check the base surface first, clean and dampen it where needed, apply the plaster in layers and level it with straight edges so walls come out flat. Curing time matters: plaster must dry properly before painting, otherwise paint can bubble or peel.

Plastering FAQs
What is the difference between cement and gypsum plaster?
Cement plaster is hard and suited to exterior and wet areas. Gypsum plaster gives a smooth finish and is widely used on interior walls and ceilings. We recommend the right type after seeing the surface.
Can you repair cracks before painting?
Yes. We fill and repair cracks and holes, smooth the area and leave it ready for paint.
How long must plaster dry before painting?
It depends on the plaster type, thickness and weather. We tell you when the surface is ready so the paint holds.
Do you also paint after plastering?
Yes. Our team can plaster and paint in one coordinated job, so you deal with one contractor.
How much does plastering cost?
The price depends on the area, plaster type, thickness, repairs and access. We visit and send a written quote before work starts.
