A Professional Finish Starts With The Right Process.
A Professional Finish Starts With The Right Process.
We don't just skim walls. We create the canvas for your home.
Most people think plastering is just about making a wall smooth. But a "glass-smooth" wall that has been over-polished actually causes paint to peel. A professional finish should be flat, consistent, and have just enough "matte" texture for the paint to bond correctly.
At Abode Plastering, we strictly adhere to the British Gypsum Two-Coat Method. We don't cut corners with a single thick coat, which can lead to uneven drying and a poor finish. We apply, flatten, and then apply a second dense coat to ensure a result that is not only beautiful to look at but durable for the life of your home.
The "Abode Protection Standard": We Treat Your Home Like Our Own
The "Abode Protection Standard": We Treat Your Home Like Our Own
There is an old stereotype that plasterers are messy. We work hard to break it. Because we specialise in working in lived-in properties in South Shropshire, our preparation is rigorous.
Multi-Layer Floor Protection: We don't just use thin plastic that rips. We lay down heavy-duty waterproof tarpaulins followed by absorbent cloth coverings to protect your carpets and hard floors from dust and moisture.
Socket Protection: We loosen your electrical sockets and wrap them in elasticated "overshoes" to keep them 100% clean—no sticky tape residue left behind.
Daily Clean-Up: We ensure the site is tidy and secure at the end of every working day.

After The Plaster Sets: Painting Advice
A quality plaster finish deserves a quality paint job. Painting new plaster requires patience—if you paint too soon or skip the "mist coat," the paint will flake off.
Read Our Guide: How to Paint Freshly Plastered Walls – We explain exactly how to mix a mist coat and when it is safe to start decorating.

While We Are Here...
Many clients forget small repairs until the work has already started. Since we are already protecting your floors and mixing materials, it is the most cost-effective time to tackle other small issues in your home.
Common add-ons we can fix for you:
Patching cracks above door frames or windows.
Skimming over where an old radiator or socket used to be.
Making good around new electrical chases.
Just let me know during the estimate, and I can include these in your price.
