Artex
A stiple effect often used on ceilings. This was very popular in the 1970s, and so I tend to get more enquiries about Artex removal. This is where the Artex is simply scrape back using a heavy duty scraping too. I then re-skim over it to give it a nice near finish. Alternatively plaster-boarding over the old Artex creating a false ceiling and finishing off with a layer of board finish
Drywalling
Also known as Dot & Dab – Plaster is stuck to a high suction background (such as brick or breezeblock) using a drywall adhesive. This provides a nice, neat wall as well as an extra skin of insulation.
Plaster-boarding
Same as dry-walling, although usually fixed to a joist or timber to maintain sturdiness and durability. Again a final finish of skim is applied over the top of this providing a neat finish.
Skimming
The final touch in any interior plaster work, this is the final smooth finish that is applied before painted over. I can also re-skim walls and ceilings which have suffered wear & tear. This is quite common with the general movements of a property over time. If the wall is sturdy enough and just needs a neaten up then we can coat the wall in plaster. This provides a nice neat finish making the wall look new again and ready for paint

Float & Skim
Basically this is a re-skim but where the wall is not very sturdy. If it has areas that are partially exposed to high suction backgrounds then we provide a float layer underneath. Doing this provides a sturdy and more insulated coat before the skim is then applied.
