Skimming
Plaster skimming to plasterboards is a popular method of providing a smooth, seamless surface ready to receive decorative treatment. Skim plastering gives many of the advantages of a traditional solid plaster finish combined with a quick turnaround.
Rendering
The application of a premixed layer of sand and cement to brick, cement, stone or mud brick. It is often textured, coloured or painted after application. It is generally used on exterior walls but can be used to feature an interior wall.
Dry Walling
Dry walling (also known as plasterboarding) is used to make interior walls and ceilings which are then plastered/skimmed.
Floor Screeding
Screeding a floor is the simple act of applying cement, aggregates and water to a floor base in order to form a sturdy sub-floor that is capable of taking on the final floor finish or act as a final wearing surface.

- Adding a simple and cost effective decorative touch to rooms.
- Available in a variety of styles to suit any room.

Artex Removal
Artex is a surface coating used for interior decorating, often found on ceilings, which allows the decorator to add a texture to it. Until the mid-80's, artex coating was made with white asbestos to strengthen it. Whilst all artex applied after around 1990 does not contain asbestos, there are still health risks involved with removing it.
