Plastering Services in Piltdown: Skimming, Repairs and Artex Removal

As well as Piltdown itself, our work reaches across West Sussex to areas we also cover such as Moulsecomb and Monks Gate.

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.

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.

Plastering does generate dust and debris, so protecting your home is built into the job. Flooring and furniture are covered with sheeting throughout, damaged coving or cornice is repaired to match the existing profile where possible, and the work area is cleaned thoroughly on completion.

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 Piltdown enquiries, and the same applies for other areas we cover such as New Town and Moulsecoomb.
