Why choose us
Our Plastering Services in Accrington
Skimming & Skim Coating
Skim coating is one of the most requested services we carry out across Accrington’s older terraced streets, where walls and ceilings can show their age over time. We apply a perfectly smooth finish coat that transforms tired, uneven plaster into a crisp, paint-ready surface. Whether it’s a single room in Church or a full house in the BB5 area, our skimming work is consistently clean and precise.
Flat Ceilings
Many of the traditional properties in Accrington have ceilings that have sagged, cracked, or been damaged over decades of settlement. We specialise in bringing those ceilings back to a true, flat finish using the right techniques for older construction. Customers across Oswaldtwistle and Rishton regularly call on us to restore ceilings that have been neglected or poorly repaired in the past.
Coving & Cornice
Coving adds a classic finishing touch that suits the character of Accrington’s period terraced homes beautifully. We fit a wide range of coving profiles, from simple contemporary styles to more ornate designs that complement traditional Lancashire interiors. Our coving installations across Church and the surrounding BB5 area are always neatly mitred and cleanly finished.
Plaster Repairs
Older properties in Accrington are particularly prone to localised plaster damage caused by damp, movement, or previous patchy repairs. We match the repair seamlessly to the surrounding surface, ensuring the finished result is invisible once decorated. From hairline cracks on terraced houses in Rishton to larger blown sections in Oswaldtwistle homes, we handle repairs of every size with care.
Dry Lining & Boarding
Dry lining is an increasingly popular choice for Accrington homeowners looking to insulate and modernise their older properties without a full wet plaster job. We fix and finish plasterboard to a high standard throughout the BB5 area, whether you’re updating a single wall or re-lining an entire room. Our dry lining work is especially well suited to the solid-walled terraced properties that are so common across Accrington and Church.
Artex Removal
Artex was applied to a huge number of ceilings in Accrington’s traditional housing during the 1970s and 1980s, and many homeowners are now keen to have it removed and replaced with a smooth finish. We carry out Artex removal safely and professionally, with full care taken where older coatings require it. Once removed, we skim the ceiling to a flawless flat finish, completely transforming the look of rooms across Accrington and the surrounding areas including Oswaldtwistle and Rishton.
Plastering FAQs for Accrington Homeowners
How long does a typical plastering job take in an Accrington home?
For a standard room in an Accrington terraced property, skimming usually takes one day to apply, followed by a drying period of several days before it’s ready to decorate. Larger jobs, such as replastering multiple rooms in a BB5 property, are naturally scheduled over more days, and we’ll always give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do you work on the older solid-walled properties common in the BB5 area?
Yes — the majority of our work in Accrington involves exactly these kinds of older terraced and traditional properties, so we’re very familiar with the challenges they present. Solid walls, aged lime-based plaster, and years of settlement all require a considered approach, and our 18 years of experience means we know how to handle them correctly.
Can you remove Artex ceilings in Accrington safely?
Absolutely. Artex removal is a service we regularly carry out across Accrington and nearby areas like Oswaldtwistle and Church. We take all the necessary precautions, particularly with pre-2000 coatings, and finish with a smooth skim that leaves your ceiling looking completely renewed.
