Plastering typically refers to interior wall and ceiling finishes, creating smooth surfaces ready for painting or wallpapering. Rendering is for exterior walls, using a stronger cement-based mix to protect against weather elements while improving appearance. In short, plaster is for inside your home, render is for outside.

Yes, we provide comprehensive drywall installation services including partition walls. Our dry lining expertise includes plasterboarding using both dot and dab methods on existing walls and constructing new stud partitions with wood or metal framing. We can then finish with either plaster skimming or tape and jointing.

Yes, we can incorporate insulated render systems that include external wall insulation. These systems involve fixing insulation boards to your exterior walls before applying the render finish. This not only improves your home's appearance but also enhances energy efficiency by reducing heat loss.

Skimming involves applying a thin layer of finishing plaster over existing walls or ceilings to create a smooth surface. The process typically includes preparing the surface (cleaning, possibly applying a bonding agent), applying the plaster coat, and then polishing it to a smooth finish. This is an excellent solution for updating textured surfaces like Artex or refreshing worn walls.
