PLASTERING & SKIMMING IN LYE

Local Plastering, Done Properly

Lye sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, right alongside Wollescote and Quarry Bank on the Stourbridge side of the borough, the same authority as our home base, so building-control sign-off on larger plastering-related work goes through Dudley Council. Straightforward re-skims and repairs don't need that sign-off, and that's most of what we're called to locally: Victorian and early 1900s terraces around the old glassmaking and chainmaking streets, which typically still carry their original lime-and-sand plaster and are well overdue a re-skim, plus interwar and postwar semis further out where patch repairs after a leak or a socket move are more common.

Re-Skimming Older Walls

Original lime-and-sand walls in Lye's older terraces, stripped back and re-skimmed to a smooth, modern finish.

New-Build & Extension Skimming

Plasterboard skimming for extensions and loft conversions on Lye's interwar and postwar housing.

Artex Removal

Dated textured ceilings, common on the borough's 1960s-70s stock, skimmed flat or overboarded.

Patch Repairs

Cracks, damp-damaged patches and repairs after plumbing or rewiring work, blended into the existing wall.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie boarded and plastered my living room ceiling and also skimmed the walls adding mesh to prevent cracking. The finish was excellent with very little prep required prior to painting. I sprayed the emulsion on afterwards and it’s all as smooth as a piece of paper now. Thanks Jamie. 👍🏻
