PLASTERING & SKIMMING IN BLACKHEATH
Local Plastering, Done Properly
This Blackheath, the one in Sandwell near Rowley Regis, not the area of the same name in south-east London, sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell, so building-control sign-off for larger plastering work goes through Sandwell Council. Housing along the High Street and the older streets around Ross carries a lot of original lime-and-sand plaster tied to the area's industrial past, and re-skimming that is a regular job, alongside patch repairs and artex removal on the postwar housing further out.
Original lime-and-sand walls along the High Street and Ross, stripped back and re-skimmed to a smooth finish.
Plasterboard skimming for extensions and conversions on Blackheath's postwar housing.
Dated textured ceilings skimmed flat or overboarded for a cleaner, more modern finish.
Cracks, damp-damaged patches and repairs after plumbing or electrical work, blended into the existing wall.
