Skimming and Plastering Services in Handcross

As well as Handcross itself, our work reaches across West Sussex to areas we also cover such as Gallypot Street and Friars Gate.

Old Artex and textured ceilings are handled as part of the service. We can skim over or remove them to give a smooth, modern finish ready for painting, and new plasterboard from renovations, extensions or stud walls is skimmed to a paint-ready surface in the same way.

Damp-damaged plaster is treated honestly. We can replaster walls affected by damp once the underlying moisture issue has been addressed, and if a damp specialist needs to resolve the root cause first, we will tell you rather than skimming over a problem that will only return.

Fresh plaster needs time before it can be painted. A newly skimmed surface typically needs around five to seven days to dry fully, though this varies with room ventilation and the time of year, and we advise you on realistic timing for your specific job at quote stage.

The service covers far more than a single flat wall. We handle full wall and ceiling skimming, plaster patch repairs and crack filling, Artex removal and ceiling resurfacing, damp-affected repair and replastering, new plasterboard skimming and coving and cornice repair, all under one contractor.

Our Handcross work sits within a compact West Sussex radius that also covers nearby areas we serve, including Fletching Common and Furners Green.
