Plastering Services We Offer in Bradley Stoke
Bradley Stoke is a modern town, built primarily from 1986 onwards, and modern homes present a particular set of plastering needs. Here is how our plastering services apply specifically to the types of homes we work on across Bradley Stoke.
Re-skimming & Skimming
Re-skimming is by far the most common plastering job we carry out in Bradley Stoke. The majority of properties here were built with plasterboard and skim construction, which means walls and ceilings are generally in good condition structurally, but the skim coat itself ages, cracks, or gets damaged during renovation works.
We apply a fresh, smooth skim coat over existing plaster, new plasterboard, or repaired surfaces to leave walls and ceilings ready for decorating. A room re-skim is typically a one to two day job and one of the best value improvements you can make to a room.
- Walls only, ceiling only, or full room
- Over existing plaster, where surface is sound
- Over fresh plasterboard after renovation works
- After wallpaper removal (see dedicated section below)
Artex Ceiling Removal & Re-skimming
Artex textured ceilings were the standard finish across the vast majority of Bradley Stoke’s first housing phases, the late 1980s and early 1990s developments that make up much of the town. If your home was built in this period, the chances are every ceiling in the house is Artex.
As plasterers in Bradley Stoke, Artex ceiling removal is one of the most impactful and most requested jobs we carry out. The difference it makes to a room is immediate and significant. We assess the type of Artex applied and the condition of the ceiling beneath before recommending the best approach:
- Overboarding: Where Artex was applied directly to the original plasterboard, overboarding with a fresh layer and re-skimming is often the cleanest and most cost-effective solution. It avoids the mess of removal entirely.
- Skim over Artex: For lighter textured finishes, we can apply a skim coat directly over the Artex, building up the surface to a smooth flat finish without removing it.
- Full Artex removal: For deeper or more irregular textures, full removal followed by re-skim gives the best long-term result. We advise on the most appropriate method per ceiling.
Full Replastering
This is the correct approach whenever the existing plaster has been fully removed. Skimming directly onto bare blockwork without a backing coat is a shortcut that will result in the skim coat failing; we never do this.

Plastering After Wallpaper Removal in Bradley Stoke
This is one of the most common calls we receive from Bradley Stoke homeowners, and it is worth its own section because it is so frequently misunderstood.
Modern plasterboard walls, which make up the vast majority of internal walls in Bradley Stoke properties, have a paper face on the board surface. When wallpaper is removed, particularly if it was applied directly to the plasterboard without lining paper, that paper face often lifts and tears away with it, leaving a rough, fibrous surface that cannot simply be painted over.
The options depend on the extent of the damage:
- Light damage: Where the paper face is partially lifted but the board is otherwise intact, a bonding coat followed by skim is often sufficient.
- Moderate damage: More extensive paper face removal may require the damaged areas to be stabilised and the whole surface skimmed.
- Severe damage: Where boards have been significantly compromised, overboarding with fresh plasterboard and then skimming is the correct solution.
We visit, assess, and tell you honestly which approach applies to your walls. We do not charge for the survey visit.
Plastering for Extensions & Renovations in Bradley Stoke
Bradley Stoke has seen a significant number of rear and side extensions over the past decade as homeowners look to add space without moving. We plaster for builders, self-builders and direct homeowner clients across Bradley Stoke and the surrounding area.
Extension plastering typically involves a combination of plasterboarding the new structure, applying backing coat to any blockwork or brickwork, and then finishing the whole extended space to a consistent skim. We coordinate with your builder or project manager and work to their programme.
We also carry out plastering for loft conversions, garage conversions and internal reconfigurations, new partitions, removed walls, opening-up works. If you are planning a renovation project in Bradley Stoke, it is worth getting us involved early so we can advise on timings and sequence.
