What is Plastering & Why is it Important?

Good plastering is one of those things you only notice when it has been done badly. Lumps, cracks, uneven surfaces, old artex that should have gone years ago, damp patches bleeding through a month after someone skimmed over them. If you are renovating, extending, or just trying to get your walls into a decent state before decorating, our plastering services cover it. Single room skims, full house re-plasters, ceilings, exteriors. We work across London, Kent, East Sussex and the South East.

CBL Stone Renovations has been plastering for over 30 years. We came up through stonemasonry on period buildings, and plastering was always part of the job. That means we know how older walls behave. We know which plasters sit properly on lime substrates and which ones will crack within six months. We know when a wall needs hacking off and starting again rather than skimming over a problem. But we are not only a period property outfit. We do plenty of standard plasterboard work on new builds and extensions too. The difference is that when something unusual turns up behind the wall, we have seen it before and we know what to do with it.

Our Plastering Process

Step 01

Assessment & Preparation

We start by inspecting the surfaces to determine the best approach — whether it’s repairing damaged plaster or applying a fresh skim coat.

Step 02

Surface
Preparation

Any loose plaster or damaged areas are carefully removed, and the walls and ceilings are cleaned and prepared for new plaster.

Step 03

Application

We apply plaster using modern materials and techniques suited to your needs. For interior walls, we typically use gypsum plaster for a smooth, quick-drying finish. Exterior plaster repairs or rendering use materials designed to withstand weather conditions.

Step 04

Finishing & Clean-Up

Our plasterers ensure an even, level finish ready for painting or decorating. We take care to leave your home clean and tidy.

What Our Clients Say

Excellent team and quality of work, I had an exposed brick wall done in one of our restaurants called Enoteca da Luca St Pauls in the city of London and now it looks like we are in New York, thank you. Looks ace !

Mikael H.

Business Owner, London

We hired CBL to complete a commercial job. They worked out of hours as requested to block up a doorway with concrete blocks and plastered our large client entrance wall. The team were super-efficient and flexible working around our needs specifically working out of our core operating hours and continued to get the job done!

Debbie S.

Business Owner, Kent

Highly recommend these guys. They rebuilt the front wall around our driveway of our Edwardian home, I was very particular about what I wanted and they delivered a fantastic job. Wouldn’t hesitate to pass on their details.
