A Victorian terrace in Charminster has different walls to a 1960s semi in Moordown. The Art Deco flats along Southbourne Grove have plaster that has had 90 years of movement. The new-builds off Castle Lane have plasterboard that has never been skimmed. Each one needs a different approach, and guessing wrong means cracks, hollows and a decorator who charges you extra to fix it.
We work across Bournemouth daily, BH1 through BH10. That includes Winton, Boscombe, Westbourne, West Cliff, Pokesdown, Kinson, Charminster, Southbourne and Moordown. Most of our work comes from small and medium Bournemouth builders running whole-house renovations, with homeowners booking us direct for the same standard.
We’re not the cheapest plasterers in Bournemouth. We are thorough. Every wall gets assessed properly, primed where needed, and skimmed to a finish that a decorator can roll straight onto. No ridges, no fat edges, no callbacks. That’s the standard on every job, whether it’s a single bedroom ceiling or a full house replaster.
For a full breakdown of our interior work, see our domestic plastering and skimming page. If your property also needs external work, we offer external rendering across Bournemouth too. And if you’re converting a loft or garage, our drylining and plasterboarding service handles the boarding before we skim.
Plastering services across Bournemouth
Every postcode. Every property type. One standard of finish.
Skim Coats
Fresh two-coat skim over plasterboard or existing plaster. The most common job in Bournemouth, and the one where quality shows the most.
Full Replasters
Strip back to brick or block, sand and cement base coat, then skim. The right fix for blown plaster, damp damage or walls that have been patched too many times.
Ceilings & Artex Removal
Smooth ceiling skims, Artex overskins, and full ceiling replasters. Half the ceilings in Bournemouth still have Artex. We fix that.
Patch Repairs
Cracks from movement, holes from old fixtures, damp patches after a leak. We cut back to sound plaster and blend the repair into the existing surface.
Extensions & Conversions
Board and skim for new extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions. We work alongside your builder or take the plastering package on independently.
Insurance & Flood Damage
Strip-out, dry, replaster. We work with insurers across Bournemouth and provide the documentation they need.

Bournemouth plastering FAQs
It depends on the room size, wall condition, and whether you need a skim or a full replaster. We quote after visiting the property so you get an exact price, not a guess. Most single-room skims in Bournemouth fall between £300 and £600.
Yes. We cover every Bournemouth postcode from BH1 through BH10. Southbourne, Winton, Moordown, Boscombe, Westbourne, Charminster, Pokesdown, Kinson, West Cliff and everywhere in between. See our full areas we cover page for the complete list.
In most cases, yes. If the Artex is well bonded, we can overskim it to give you a smooth, flat ceiling. If the Artex is loose or contains asbestos (common in pre-1990s properties), it needs to be tested and removed first. We check this during the quote visit.
Our current lead time is typically 1 to 2 weeks, though smaller patch repairs can often be fitted in sooner. We give you a confirmed start date at the quote stage.
