Plastering & wall prep
Patch repairs, skim coats and plasterboard stopping, so walls are smooth and ready for paint or paper.
Paint and wallpaper only look as good as the wall underneath. Mike strips walls back and gets them ready, so the finish goes on clean.

Questions
Plastering & wall prep: good to know
Do my walls need prep before painting or papering?
Usually, yes. Old paper, holes and patchy surfaces show through a new finish. Mike will look at your walls when he comes out to quote.
