PLASTERING & SKIMMING IN SELLY OAK

Local Plastering, Done Properly

Selly Oak is the one town on our books that sits under Birmingham City Council rather than one of the Black Country's metropolitan boroughs, worth knowing if you ever need building-control sign-off, since it's a different planning authority from Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton, who cover the rest of our working area. Around Weoley Park Road and out toward Metchley, the housing is a mix of large Victorian villas, many now split into flats or student lets near the university, and inter-war semis, and re-skimming original lime-and-sand plaster in the older properties is a regular job, alongside patch repairs in the converted and shared housing.

Re-Skimming Older Walls

Victorian villa walls around Weoley Park Road, stripped back and re-skimmed to a smooth, modern finish.

New-Build & Extension Skimming

Plasterboard skimming for conversions and extensions on Selly Oak's inter-war and converted housing.

Artex Removal

Dated textured ceilings skimmed flat or overboarded, common in the area's older converted properties.

Patch Repairs

Cracks, damp-damaged patches and repairs in shared and rented housing, 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. 👍🏻
