Our Plastering Services

At London House Renovation, we offer a full range of plastering services for both new builds and renovation projects. Our team is skilled in both traditional and modern plastering techniques, ensuring that we can meet the unique requirements of every project.

1. Traditional Plastering

Traditional plastering involves applying a wet plaster mix to walls and ceilings, creating a smooth, even surface ready for painting or decorating. This method is ideal for both new constructions and older properties where a solid, durable finish is required. Different types of plastering we do:

• Internal Plastering: For a smooth, durable finish on your interior walls and ceilings.
• External Plastering (Rendering): Adding an extra layer of protection and insulation to your exterior walls, while providing a clean, attractive finish.
• Restoration and Repairs: We expertly restore and repair damaged plaster in older homes, including listed and period properties, preserving their historic charm while ensuring structural soundness.

2. Skimming

Skimming is a plastering technique used to apply a thin layer of plaster over existing walls and ceilings to create a smooth, flawless finish. This is perfect for older surfaces or preparing walls for new paint or wallpaper. Our skimming services are ideal for:

• Covering Imperfections: Hide cracks, bumps, and uneven surfaces, giving your walls a like-new appearance.
• Preparation for Decorating: Ensure that your walls and ceilings are perfectly smooth and ready for a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper.

3. Dry Lining (Plasterboard Installation)

Dry lining, also known as plaster boarding, is a modern plastering technique that involves attaching plasterboard to the wall or ceiling structure, providing a smooth, durable surface. This method is quicker than traditional wet plastering and is ideal for new builds, extensions, or refurbishments. Our dry lining services include:

• Wall Partitioning: Create new rooms or divide spaces with plasterboard walls.
• Ceiling Installation: Install plasterboard ceilings for a modern, clean finish.
• Soundproofing and Insulation: Dry lining can be combined with insulation materials to improve the energy efficiency and soundproofing of your home.

Venetian Plaster: A Timeless Finish

What is Venetian Plaster?

Venetian plaster, also known as Marmorino or Stucco Veneziano, is a decorative plastering technique that has been used for centuries. It originated in ancient Rome and was perfected during the Renaissance in Venice, Italy. This technique involves applying multiple thin layers of plaster mixed with marble dust to create a smooth, polished surface that can resemble natural stone or marble. The result is a luxurious, highly textured, and shiny finish that adds depth and elegance to walls.

Applications of Venetian Plaster

Venetian plaster is versatile and can be used in a variety of spaces, both residential and commercial. It’s perfect for:

• Living rooms and bedrooms: Adding elegance to feature walls or entire rooms.
• Bathrooms: Creating a water-resistant, luxurious finish that can be sealed for extra protection.
• Hallways and foyers: Elevating entryways with its striking, polished surface.
• Fireplaces: Providing a dramatic, stone-like appearance around a hearth.
