We recently completed a plastering project in Wellesbourne at Dove House for a homeowner in a bungalow who had installed a new stud dividing wall in the living room to better define the space within the property. When new stud walls are built using timber framing and plasterboard, they require professional skimming to create a smooth, seamless finish that blends perfectly with the existing walls in the room. The homeowner contacted Cooper Plastering to carry out the plastering work on the newly installed wall so that it would match the rest of the living room and be ready for decorating.
The new dividing wall had already been constructed using plasterboard fixed onto a timber stud frame. While plasterboard provides a good base, it requires a skilled plastering finish to create the smooth surface expected in modern homes. The goal of this project was to apply a high-quality skim coat to the new plasterboard so that the wall would look completely natural within the room and provide a perfect surface for painting.
Before the plastering began, the wall was inspected to ensure the plasterboard had been properly fixed and the joints were secure. Preparing the surface correctly is important when skimming onto plasterboard to ensure the plaster bonds evenly and dries with a consistent finish. Once the wall was ready, fresh plaster was applied across the entire surface and carefully trowelled to achieve a smooth, flat finish.
Skimming new plasterboard requires precision to ensure that the joints between the boards disappear completely and the wall dries perfectly flat. The plaster was applied and finished so that once painted, the wall would blend seamlessly with the rest of the living room.
The entire plastering job was completed in approximately one day, leaving the new dividing wall with a professional finish ready for decorating once the plaster had dried. The finished result gave the homeowner a newly defined living space with a clean, modern wall surface.
Stephen, the homeowner in Wellesbourne, was extremely pleased with the work and said: “Andy from Cooper Plastering did an excellent job skimming our new stud wall in the living room at Dove House. The finish is perfectly smooth and it blends in with the rest of the walls as if it had always been there. He worked efficiently, kept everything tidy and clearly knows his trade. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cooper Plastering.”
