skimmed Walls ready for Painting

The ceiling in this room was overboarded with new plasterboard due to the original ceiling being old, weak, and covered in dated artex texture. Overboarding is an effective method for strengthening a failing ceiling while creating a smooth, modern surface ready for plastering. Once the new plasterboard was securely installed, the ceiling was fully skimmed with fresh plaster to achieve a clean, flat finish that’s perfect for decorating.

In addition to the ceiling work, all the old-fashioned wallpaper was carefully removed from the walls. Removing wallpaper properly is essential to ensure the plaster underneath is not damaged and to prepare the surface for new finishes. After the walls were stripped back, they were professionally skimmed with plaster, creating smooth, even surfaces ready for painting.

This process transforms dated interiors by replacing textured ceilings and wallpaper with modern smooth plastered walls and ceilings, providing the ideal base for painting, decorating, or wallpapering. The result is a fresh, contemporary finish that improves both the appearance and durability of the room.
