Professional Plastering Services in Cheshire
I’m based near Chester and work around the wider Cheshire area. Chester has a fantastic mix of housing, from Georgian and Victorian townhouses in the city centre to newer builds and period properties in the surrounding villages. Whatever the property, I bring the same attention to detail and quality of finish to every job.
Whether you need a full room re-plastered before redecorating, new plasterboard fitted as part of a renovation, or a few stubborn cracks patched up properly, I’m here to help. Every job is done to a standard I’m proud of, with no mess left behind.
My Plastering Services
Skimming & Re-skimming
Skimming is one of the most in-demand plastering jobs across Church Stretton and the surrounding villages, particularly in the area’s older stone and timber-framed properties. A skim coat lays a thin, smooth layer of finishing plaster over an existing surface, leaving walls clean and ready to paint. Re-skimming is the right call after stripping wallpaper, following minor damp or water damage, or when walls have become uneven or cracked over time.
Full Plastering (Float & Set)
Where there’s bare brick, blockwork, or stone. This is common in extensions, barn conversions, and older rural properties across this part of Shropshire. full plastering builds a solid surface from scratch. A base (float) coat is applied first, followed by a smooth finishing (set) coat. The result is a durable wall that’s built to last, not a quick fix.
Plasterboard & Dry Lining
Plasterboard installation is the starting point for most partition walls, stud walls, and new ceilings. I can supply and fit plasterboard as part of a wider renovation, then finish the surface ready for decoration. Dry lining is also a practical and cost-effective way to insulate and upgrade older solid walls without significant building work.
Plastering Repairs
No job is too small. Hairline cracks, damp-affected patches, holes from removed fixings, or areas of blown plaster are all worth addressing properly, particularly in older rural properties where walls can take a battering over the years. Get in touch, and I’ll give you an honest assessment of what’s needed.

Plastering Costs
One of the first questions most homeowners have before picking up the phone is: how much is this going to cost? It’s a fair question, and one most local plastering websites sidestep entirely. Here are some rough, indicative figures to help you plan:
- Skimming a single room: typically £300–£500, depending on room size and the condition of existing walls
- Plastering a single wall: typically £150–£250
- Full re-plaster of a room: typically £400–£700, depending on prep required and access
- Plastering repairs: small patch repairs start from less; get in touch for a specific price
These are guide figures only. Actual costs vary depending on room size, surface preparation, ceiling height, and access. The only way to get an accurate price is for me to take a look.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Got questions? We have answers! Here, you’ll find helpful details and clarifications on what you need to know.
Fresh plaster typically needs at least 3–4 weeks to dry fully before you paint over it, though this varies depending on coat thickness, room temperature, and ventilation. Painting too early traps moisture and causes problems further down the line, so it’s worth being patient. When you are ready, start with a mist coat (heavily diluted emulsion) to help the plaster absorb the paint evenly.
Absolutely. No job is too small. Whether it’s a hairline crack, a blown patch, or a section of damaged wall in an older property, I’m happy to take it on and fix it properly.
Move furniture away from the walls and take down any pictures, mirrors, or wall fittings. Cover your floors with dust sheets if you have them. I’ll also protect the immediate work area. If you have radiators on the walls being plastered, it helps to turn them off the day before.
