Rendering & Plastering in York

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.

Ceiling plastering is one of the more demanding plastering tasks — working overhead, holding wet plaster to a horizontal surface and achieving a flat, smooth finish that shows every imperfection under raking light.

Bathroom plastering requires different materials and greater care than plastering in dry rooms.

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

Wall plastering — applying plaster to masonry, blockwork, dot-and-dab plasterboard or stud walls to produce a smooth, flat surface ready for decoration — is a core part of most residential renovations, extensions and refurbishments.

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.

Old ceilings are one of the most common domestic plastering jobs — and the decision about what to do with them has a big impact on cost, disruption and the quality of the finished result.

Artex is a textured coating applied to ceilings and walls in UK homes between roughly the 1950s and early 2000s.

Extension plastering covers all the plasterwork involved in finishing a new house extension — plastering the new masonry and blockwork walls and ceiling, making good where the extension joins the existing house, and addressing the opening through the original wall, patched or damaged internal areas, and the transition between new and existing finishes.
