A skim coat on a single wall in Lincoln typically costs £150–£250. A full room skim (walls and ceiling) is usually £450–£700 depending on size and condition. Full re-plastering of a 2-bed flat ranges from £1,200–£2,200. We always provide a fixed quote upfront — no day rates or surprises.

Across the UK plastering a small room (skim coat over existing plaster) costs around £400–£600, a standard double bedroom £500–£800, and a large lounge £700–£1,000. If old plaster needs hacking off and re-bonding the price goes up by £200–£400 per wall. Lincoln pricing typically sits at the lower end of UK averages.

A skim coat over sound plaster is around £15–£22 per square metre supplied and applied. Full re-plastering (browning + skim) is £30–£45 per square metre. Ceiling work is priced slightly higher because of the labour involved. We measure on site and quote in writing before starting.

We cover skim coats over existing plaster, full re-plastering after damp or damage, ceiling re-skims and crack repairs, patch plastering after electrical or plumbing work, dry-lining and taping for new plasterboard, plus exterior rendering touch-ups. For damaged walls following damp or mould we coordinate with our damp team so you don't need a second contractor.

A fresh skim coat takes 3–5 days to fully dry depending on humidity and ventilation. The plaster will look dark first, then turn pale pink/buff as it dries. You should not paint freshly plastered walls for at least a week, and you'll need a 'mist coat' (watered-down emulsion) as the first coat so the plaster can absorb it properly.

Yes. We re-skim damaged ceilings, re-board where the existing ceiling has come away from the joists, and patch around new lights or extractor fans. Ceilings often crack or stain after roof leaks or condensation issues — we can plaster the ceiling and coordinate any underlying damp work in the same visit.

Yes — this is one of our most common jobs. After damp-proofing or mould treatment the affected walls usually need re-plastering with salt-resistant render and a finish coat. We handle the full process in-house including damp diagnosis, treatment, re-plastering, and final paintwork.

Yes. We can plaster, leave the recommended drying time, then return for a mist coat and full repaint. This is the standard package for landlords and letting agents preparing a property between tenants — one team, one invoice, fully coordinated.

Small jobs (single wall, ceiling repair, patch plastering) can usually be booked within a week. Larger re-plastering works are typically 2–3 weeks out depending on schedule. We prioritise rental property turnarounds for landlords and agents working to a tight void timeline.
