Rendering & Plastering in Ilkley

Plastering covers a wide range of interior and exterior finishing work — from full room re-plasters and skim coats over existing surfaces to patch repairs, floating and setting, and lime plaster work on period properties.

Skimming is a thin finish coat of plaster — typically 2–3mm — applied over an existing surface to produce a smooth, even base for decoration.

Whole-house plastering covers replastering every room in a property as a single project — typically required after purchasing a property in poor condition, after major water damage, or as part of a complete renovation.

Plasterboarding — fixing plasterboard to stud walls, timber frames, masonry using dot-and-dab or direct bonding — provides the flat substrate that is then skimmed to a smooth finish.
