01The finish

The Difference Is in the Finish.

Plaster is the surface everything else sits on. Paint, paper and light all show what is underneath, so a wall or ceiling that is flat, even and smooth makes every stage after it look better.

That is where MBA Plastering puts the focus: getting the surface right, so the room is ready for whatever comes next.

  • 01

    Even under light

    Daylight across a wall or ceiling shows every ridge and hollow. A smooth surface lets it fall cleanly.

  • 02

    Ready for decorating

    Paint and paper only look as good as the surface underneath them.

  • 03

    Walls and ceilings

    The same attention overhead as at eye level, including sloped ceilings.

Plastering & Skimming, Done Properly.

Professional Plastering

Plastering for walls and ceilings, from bare blockwork or new boards through to a solid, even surface with a smooth finish.

  • Bare blockwork walls
  • New plasterboard
  • Walls and ceilings
  • One room or several

Plastering builds a wall or ceiling up to a solid, flat surface. It is the usual route for bare blockwork and new plasterboard.

It goes on in coats: a backing coat, keyed so the next layer grips (the swirled lines in the photos), then a smooth finishing coat.

Plaster Skimming

A thin finishing coat over walls and ceilings, trowelled to a smooth, even surface that is ready for decorating.

  • Walls
  • Ceilings, including sloped ceilings
  • Hallways and landings
  • One room or several

Skimming is a thin finishing coat over a surface that is already sound, trowelled until it is flat and smooth.

It suits walls and ceilings that look tired, marked or uneven. Not sure which you need? Describe it in your enquiry and MBA Plastering can talk it through.

From Preparation to a Smooth Finish.

A general outline of how plastering work comes together. Every job is different; the photos come from different jobs.

    A look at the walls and ceilings involved, what they are like now and the finish you want.

  2. Hallway walls with a keyed scratch coat applied

    Prepare the Surface

    Getting the room and the surface ready, whether that is new boards, bare blockwork or existing plaster.

  3. Plasterer on stilts skimming a ceiling

    Plastering & Skimming

    The plaster goes on and is worked to a flat, smooth surface across walls and ceilings.

  4. Hallway with smooth, freshly plastered walls and ceiling

    Finished Surface

    A smooth, even finish, ready for the next stage of the room.
