Plastering for Dumfries homes and businesses
Plastering is the foundation of every interior finish. Whether it is skimming over existing plaster, re-plastering blown areas, skimming plasterboard to a flawless finish, or patching cracks and damage before decorating, the quality of the plaster underneath determines how good the final paint or wallpaper looks. Ricky prepares every plaster job carefully, choosing the right undercoat for the surface and finishing to a smooth, flat, paint-ready standard. From bonding and browning undercoats to ceiling repairs and making good before decoration, every plaster job is done to last. In Dumfries, that means skimming walls and ceilings back to a flat, paint-ready finish across a building stock of everything from Victorian villas near Dock Park to newer developments out towards Locharbriggs. Ricky matches the materials and method to the property rather than working to a single template, so the finish suits both the age of the building and the way the space is used day to day.
