After a well-deserved two-week break, I’m finally back on the tools! 👷‍♂️
Here’s a selection of some of the work I’ve been getting stuck into lately — from repairs and preparation through to boarding, skimming, rendering and finishing.
It’s good to be back, getting the hands dirty and seeing the jobs come together from start to finish. Plenty more to learn, plenty more to improve, and always aiming to leave a quality finish behind.
A few jobs, a lot of hard work, and some satisfying results. 💪

Been busy lately, as usual, with a few projects on the go. One of the recent jobs involved a traditional lath and plaster kitchen ceiling that had suffered damage following a leak. Due to the condition of the existing ceiling, it required overboarding to provide a solid and secure background before finishing.

The walls weren't in the best condition either, with several uneven and tired surfaces that needed a lot of preparation and attention to detail. After carrying out the necessary prep work, I fully skimmed the kitchen, transforming it from a worn and damaged space into a smooth, fresh, and modern finish.

It's always satisfying seeing the final result and bringing an old room back to life. Another happy customer and another project completed to a high standard.

I also completed several smaller patching and repair jobs. These mainly involved patching damaged areas and feather edging repairs into existing plaster to ensure a seamless finish.

The process involved preparing the background by removing any loose or damaged material, cleaning the area thoroughly and applying PVA where required to control suction and improve adhesion.

Particular care was taken when feather edging the repairs into the existing surfaces. This required blending the new plaster carefully into the surrounding areas so that no visible ridges or uneven transitions remained. Achieving a smooth and consistent finish was important to ensure that once decorated, the repairs would be virtually unnoticeable.

These jobs helped further develop my attention to detail, trowel control and ability to match existing finishes while maintaining a high standard of workmanship and customer satisfaction.

Two solid days on this one — bonding all the way around where the picture rails used to be, PVA’d all walls, beaded window and chimney reveals, reboarded a little under one of the windows due to being loose plaster when radiator was taken off and fully skimmed both bedrooms.

Big thanks to Dean Kennerley for jumping on it with me. We smashed it, worked hard and got it over the line.

Most importantly, the customer was really happy with both the finish and the clean-up afterwards. That’s what it’s all about. 👌

Another happy customer and a super high quality finish.

An overskim was needed but while prepping my finger went straight through the plasterboard so cut the small section out, reboarded the specific area and skimmed.

A couple of recent jobs completed.
The first was a bedroom bay window ceiling. While these are normally constructed from concrete, this particular property had a stud-framed ceiling and had previously suffered from damp and mould issues. The existing plasterboard was removed, Rockwool insulation was installed and the area was then reboarded and skimmed. The remaining wall surfaces were also skimmed to leave a smooth, high-quality finish.

The second job was a staircase. The wall had a mixture of backgrounds, including old render with a scratch coat, bare plaster and previously painted surfaces. After skimming, some cracking appeared due to the different substrates. I returned to the property, applied fibreglass mesh reinforcement and reskimmed the affected areas. The job is now completed to a high standard with a crack-free finish.

Had some very busy days recently with plenty of work completed to a high standard.

One of the recent jobs involved removing loose render from a wall, which revealed old straw block sections underneath. The damaged areas were properly boarded out and fully skimmed, leaving a smooth, high-quality finish.

Another job completed was around a door frame wall and the side of a staircase. New beads were fitted where needed before the areas were professionally skimmed to a clean, sharp finish.

If you need a quote for any plastering repair or touch up, don’t hesitate to get in touch for a free estimate. All work carried out to a high standard with attention to detail and a quality finish every time.

This week’s main project involved beading and skimming a chimney breast and reveals, completed to a high standard.

Three seperate jobs, all loose plaster was carefully removed where necessary, with reboarding carried out above a door frame, around a bay window and another repair beneath a bedroom window.

Each area was properly prepared and finished to achieve a clean, smooth, and consistent result throughout.

Busy week on the tools 🧱 💪 🔨 🪚
Started off with the dirtiest job....a chimney dig out — installed a DPC, built a stud frame, then boarded and skimmed the area to finish it off clean.
Also got a bathroom ceiling fully skimmed, leaving it nice and smooth.
Wrapped up the week with a smaller job over the weekend sorting out a window wall, with head and reveals to a lovely, smooth, perfected finish.
On to the next one 💪

I was recently asked to assess a ceiling for an elderly gentleman who had been concerned that the repair might cost close to £1,000. After inspecting the existing lathe and plaster ceiling, which was covered with polystyrene tiles that required removal, I was able to provide a much more reasonable quote (around a quarter of the price)—much to his relief.
The work involved carefully scraping off the polystyrene tiles, cutting back the damaged lathe and plaster to the nearest joists, reboarding the affected area, and finishing with a full reskim of the ceiling to achieve a smooth, clean finish.

My phone went dicky and wiped all my photo's from the last week or so of work I've recently completed.

However, work I completed yesterday of the downstairs area and utility room. The window wall has now been fully skimmed and just requires a vent and a sill to finish it off. The window wall has also been thermal boarded, which will be skimmed at a later date.
Additionally, the adjacent wall, which was previously in poor condition, has now been fully skimmed and finished to a smooth, high-quality standard.
