PLASTERING & SKIMMING IN OLD HILL

Local Plastering, Done Properly

Old Hill sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell, close to the Dudley boundary near Plant's Green, so building-control sign-off for larger plastering work goes through Sandwell Council rather than Dudley, whose border runs only a short distance away. If your street is right on that line, it's worth confirming which authority applies before booking structural work, we'll check at the quote stage. Terraced housing around Mace Street and the old chainmaking streets typically still carries original lime-and-sand plaster overdue a re-skim, while the newer housing further out needs more straightforward plasterboard skimming.

Re-Skimming Older Walls

Original lime-and-sand walls around Mace Street and Plant's Green, stripped back and re-skimmed flat.

New-Build & Extension Skimming

Plasterboard skimming for extensions and conversions on Old Hill's newer housing.

Artex Removal

Dated textured ceilings skimmed flat or overboarded for a cleaner finish.

Patch Repairs

Cracks, damp-damaged patches and repairs after plumbing or electrical 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. 👍🏻
