Skim coat, drylining and patching across Chesterfield, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. Walls and ceilings finished flat and ready to decorate, in-house, no subcontractors, no waiting for availability.
A bad plaster job isn’t obvious when it’s wet. It shows up under the first coat of emulsion, on every wall, in every light. Ripples, joins, key lines, shrinkage cracks. By then the room is half-decorated and fixing it means sanding back and skimming again.
GSM’s team has plastered hundreds of rooms across Chesterfield and Derbyshire, and because we carry plastering in-house on every project, the standard has to be right. Our plasterers work alongside our joiners, electricians and decorators. A bad skim reflects on the whole job.
From a single room skim to full drylining and Artex removal, we handle the lot.
Skim coat applied to walls and ceilings throughout a room or entire property. The most common requirement after a renovation or when existing plaster has deteriorated.
Plasterboard bonded to existing walls before skimming, used for insulation, damp-proofing or to create a flat surface on uneven brickwork or blockwork.
Replastering around new openings, lintels, beams and pipework chases, matched to the surrounding surface and finished flat for decoration.
Artex removed and surface re-skimmed to a flat finish. We don’t skim over Artex as it rarely gives a satisfactory result. The right approach is to remove it first.
A thorough plastering job involves more preparation and detail than most people expect. Here’s everything we handle.
Four clear stages. Walls and ceilings finished flat and ready to decorate on time.
Gaz assesses the condition of existing surfaces, the scope of work and any prep required before skimming, so the quote reflects the actual job.
Clear per-room or whole-property price. Prep work such as boarding, removal and patching is itemised separately so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Walls cleaned back, PVA applied, any boarding completed before the skim coat goes on. Prep done properly means a skim that lasts.
Walls and ceilings skimmed to a flat, consistent finish, ready to decorate when dry. We don’t rush the drying time and we don’t leave before the trowel finish is right.
We couldn't be happier with the work carried out by GSM. They completely transformed our home by removing our old kitchen, knocking through the internal wall between the kitchen and dining room, carrying out all the associated building work, and installing our beautiful new Chatsworth…
Gaz and his team have just completed a conversion of our garage into a home office/den. From our initial conversation throughout the project Gaz was great to deal with. I asked him to take care of the whole project — up to and including decorating.…
We needed to rearrange the ground floor of our new house to better suit our growing family. GSM construction took down a load bearing wall to create an open plan living family kitchen, and built up a partition wall to separate off a separate snug.…
Gaz and team are all you need for all building works in your home! In my house they worked on areas such as a steel beam installation, tiling, plastering and joinery. Competitively priced, professional, tidy and friendly. Special mention to Matt, a true craftsman and…
We’re based in Chesterfield and carry out plastering work across the town, North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, both as a standalone service and as part of larger renovation and extension projects.
Original lime plaster in poor condition is one of the most common problems we see in Chesterfield’s Victorian terraces. Full re-plaster is frequently the right call, and we do it properly with correct prep and PVA rather than plastering over failing surfaces.
Drylining and skim coat are part of every extension project we build. We don’t bring in a separate plastering firm. Our plasterers are on programme from the moment the first fix is complete.
Re-plastering as part of full renovation programmes: structural alterations, new openings and service chases all patched and finished to a flat, consistent standard throughout.
Single rooms, ceilings, or patching after other tradespeople. We take on plastering as a standalone job where our schedule allows. Call Gaz to discuss availability.
