Plastering Services in Hollingbury: Skimming, Repairs and Artex Removal

As well as Hollingbury itself, our work reaches across West Sussex to areas we also cover such as Halland and Hamsey.

The biggest benefit of using one firm for both trades is continuity. Because we plaster and decorate, we manage the whole process from bare or damaged wall through to finished paintwork under a single contractor, with no delay waiting for a separate decorator to become available.

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.

Every job follows the same disciplined sequence. It begins with a site visit to assess the extent of plastering work required, then careful preparation of the surface, including removal of any loose or damaged material. A skim coat is applied to a smooth, even finish, given drying time, then sanded, inspected and handed over ready for painting.

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.

Being genuinely local means a prompt site visit for Hollingbury enquiries, and the same applies for other areas we cover such as Glyndebourne and Godleys Green.
