Plastering Questions & Answers
Common questions about plastering work in Godalming and the surrounding areas.
How much does plastering cost in Godalming?
Costs depend on the size of the room, the condition of the existing surfaces, access and whether walls, ceilings or both are being plastered. Because of that, a fixed price is only given after seeing the work. Quotations in Godalming are free and itemised so you can see what is included.
How much does plastering cost in Woking?
The same approach applies in Woking: pricing is based on the actual job rather than a published rate. A free quotation is provided after assessing the surfaces, the preparation needed and the finish you want.
What plastering services do you provide?
Wall plastering, ceiling plastering, plaster skimming, external rendering, dry lining, plaster repairs, lime plastering for suitable period properties, and coving and decorative plasterwork.
Do you plaster ceilings?
Yes. Ceilings can be overboarded and skimmed, skimmed directly where the surface allows, or taken down and reboarded where the existing ceiling has failed. Artex ceilings are regularly covered and finished flat.
Do you provide skimming?
Yes. Skimming is one of the most common jobs requested — a thin finishing coat applied over existing walls, ceilings or new plasterboard to leave a smooth surface ready for decorating.
Can you repair damaged plaster?
Yes. Cracks, holes, blown plaster, water damage and chases from electrical or plumbing work can all be repaired. Where a patch repair would always be visible, replastering the full wall or ceiling is recommended instead.
Do you provide rendering?
Yes, external rendering is provided on suitable properties, including silicone, monocouche and traditional sand and cement systems. The property is assessed first to confirm which system is appropriate.
Do you work on extensions?
Yes. New extensions are regularly boarded, plastered and skimmed, including ceilings, stud partitions and new masonry walls, and the work is scheduled around the other trades on site.
Do you work on renovation projects?
Yes. Renovation work ranges from single rooms through to whole-property refurbishments for homeowners, landlords, builders and developers.
Do you cover Woking?
Yes. Woking is the main secondary service area alongside Godalming, together with nearby areas such as Knaphill, West Byfleet, Byfleet, Chobham and Addlestone.
What areas around Godalming do you cover?
Godalming and the surrounding villages including Witley, Milford, Hurtmore, Compton, Shalford, Bramley and Chiddingfold, plus Guildford, Farnham, Cranleigh, Haslemere and the Woking area.
