The Challenge: Turning a Building Site into a Home

The structural work on this beautiful new single-storey extension in Rickmansworth was complete, but the interior was still bare brickwork and exposed timber frames. The homeowners were eager to start decorating and move into their new living space.

However, they knew that the final paint job would only look as good as the plaster beneath it. They needed a highly skilled, local plastering team who could deliver a perfectly flat, glass-like finish while keeping the rest of their home completely clean and dust-free.

Our Solution: Precision Skimming and Total Respect for the Property

With decades of experience in high-quality property refurbishments, PE Property Services Ltd took on the internal finish. Plastering is notoriously messy work, so our first step was to lay down heavy-duty floor protection and seal off the rest of the house to prevent dust and moisture from spreading.

Led by Phil, our in-house plastering experts carried out a comprehensive start-to-finish service:

• Preparation: Ensuring all plasterboard was securely fixed, countersinking screws, and applying high-quality scrim tape to all joints and internal angles to prevent cracking.

• Beading: Installing precision metal angle beads around all windows, doors, and external corners to guarantee crisp, sharp, and durable edges.

• Skimming: Applying a two-coat skim finish to the walls and ceiling, troweling it down to a flawless, polished surface.

The Result: A Canvas Ready for Decorating

We transformed a raw building shell into a bright, welcoming room. The two-coat skim dried to a perfectly smooth, pale pink finish without a single bump or trowel mark in sight.

Crucially, because we pride ourselves on our reliability and cleanliness, we left the site spotless. There were no plaster splashes on the new window frames or floors, meaning the clients could immediately bring in their decorators without any extra clean-up.
