NEWCASTLE PLASTERING SPECIALISTS

Quality Plastering for Homes, Extensions and Renovations

The quality of the plastering affects every stage that follows. Uneven backgrounds, poor preparation and rushed finishing can remain visible after decorating, while a well-prepared plaster finish gives painters and homeowners the clean foundation they need.

We assess the existing walls and ceilings, explain the appropriate preparation and complete the work carefully to create smooth, consistent surfaces ready for decoration.

WHICH PLASTERING SERVICE DO YOU NEED?

Skimming, Repairs or Full Replastering?

Skimming

Often suitable where the existing background is stable but the surface is tired, uneven or unsuitable for a modern decorated finish.

  • Existing plaster in suitable condition
  • New plasterboard
  • Minor surface imperfections
  • Walls and ceilings requiring a smooth finish

Plaster Repairs

Suitable for localised damage where the surrounding plaster remains secure and a full room does not need replacing.

  • Cracks and damaged areas
  • Ceiling repairs
  • Electrical and plumbing alterations
  • Small areas of loose plaster

Full Replastering

Recommended where backgrounds are extensively damaged, loose, stripped back or being renovated throughout.

  • Full property renovations
  • Blown or failing plaster
  • Major layout alterations
  • Extensions and converted spaces

EXPERT PREPARATION

What Creates a High-Quality Plaster Finish?

The final skim is only one part of the job. Long-lasting results depend on correctly assessing the background and completing the right preparation before new plaster is applied.

That can include removing loose material, securing plasterboard, fitting beads, controlling suction, reinforcing vulnerable areas and making sure surfaces are suitable for the chosen system.

BACKGROUND ASSESSMENTChecking the stability and condition of existing walls and ceilings.
PROTECTIONProtecting floors, access routes and nearby surfaces before work begins.
BEADS & EDGESCreating clean corners, reveals and edges where required.
CONTROLLED FINISHINGApplying and finishing plaster carefully for a consistent surface.

PLASTERING ADVICE

Drying and Decorating After Plastering

Fresh plaster must be allowed to dry naturally before decoration. Drying time varies with thickness, ventilation, temperature and the condition of the property.

New plaster normally changes from a darker colour to a consistent pale finish as it dries. Avoid forcing the process with excessive direct heat, as uneven drying can affect the surface.

Before You Decorate

  • Wait until the plaster is fully and evenly dry
  • Use suitable ventilation rather than intense direct heat
  • Follow the paint manufacturer’s guidance for new plaster
  • Do not paper or seal damp plaster
  • Contact us if any area appears unusual during drying

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Plastering Questions Answered

How much does plastering cost in Newcastle upon Tyne?

The cost depends on room size, surface condition, preparation and the type of plastering required. We provide free quotations based on the actual project.

Can you skim over existing plaster?

Often yes, provided the background is stable and prepared correctly. Loose or failing plaster may need additional work or removal first.

Can you cover Artex ceilings?

Many textured ceilings can be prepared and skimmed, but they must be inspected first so the safest and most suitable method can be recommended.

How long does new plaster take to dry?

Drying time varies according to thickness, ventilation, temperature and the property. We provide guidance after completing the work.

Do you protect floors and furniture?

Yes. We protect relevant floors, access routes and nearby surfaces before plastering begins.

Do you complete full-house replastering?

Yes. We regularly work on full houses, extensions, loft conversions and major renovation projects.

Brilliant job from start to finish. Cannot fault them. Outstanding customer service. My ceiling was artex and looked awful. It now looks lovely and smooth after they plastered over/skimmed it. They were quick, but didnt rush the job. The pictures I have added dont give it credit. Just need to wait now until I can paint it!! 😆 I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Fantastic Job – Highly Recommend MSP Plastering Solutions! Martin and Allison did an amazing job from start to finish. They took great care to protect all of my floors before starting and cleaned and hoovered everything afterwards. The room was left spotless, and they took all of their rubbish away with them. The quality of the plastering is outstanding — the finish is like glass! I honestly couldn't be happier with the result. I couldn't recommend this company enough. A fantastic family-run business that clearly takes pride in its work and delivers a genuinely high-quality finish. Thank you, Martin and Allison — absolutely brilliant job!

Martin and Allison have done a brilliant job skimming two rooms in our Victorian home. The full process has been easy with MSP - they have been transparent and reliable with price, timings and expectations from the very beginning. The rooms were fully prepared and our flooring and furnishings were fully protected, keeping the house clean and tidy during and after the work. We’re really happy with the finish and will be using MSP again in the future!

After a full rewire, our house was full of holes and needed a lot of patching as well as a full skim in the main bedroom. I feel very lucky to have found MSP plastering- their reviews online were really positive and absolutely matched the experience we had too. Martin and Alison are a great team. They take real care in your home and ensure everything is protected and well prepared. Our house is quite old and where the skirting boards had been removed, the wall were really crumbling. They patched the wall carefully and the room looks so good now it is finished. The quality of Martin's plastering is excellent. We also had a couple of ceilings reboarded and skimmed. It was great to see the back of the old artex and the whole room has changed for the better. It really is so smooth and the edges are well finished. We are really pleased with the finished work and more than happy to recommend. Thanks again Martin and Alison for putting our house back together.

A family run business who are professional, fair priced, timely and great communicators.They tidied up as they went along and created minimal disruption and had total respect for our home.The finished walls are silky smooth and look brilliant . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Alison and Martin were super lovely, and despite the utter chaos of having a week of 5 ceilings done, and having to empty rooms like a carosel, quite enjoyed them being over! As a woman I felt safe on my own with them, (having had dodgy men tradies before). Top class banter as well, which is always important 😂 Did a beautiful job of my ceilings - got our first 1800s home at auction, and very quickly discovered the original lath and plaster ceilings were cracked in the living room, dining room, 2 bedrooms, and the landing (uncovered 2 ft of extra boardedup ceiling in terrible condition). Had about five people come give me opinions and quotes, varying between ripping them all down for 8k, saying to leave em and just skim cracks for £200, boarding them all, taking down original coving, or that they're all dangerous. Martin and Alison were the only tradies who actually came across as honest, put us at ease about the safety of them, and didn't try to upsell us to do things if they didn't think it needed doing. Original coving and ceiling rose are all intact. Very smooth finish. Also appreciated the clean up and putting stuff down to protect my carpets. Very happy with the quality, cost and vibes! Will definitely use them again
