SKW Plastering

Todays job!!! Customers ceiling was starting to fall down so in need of a repair. This was in an old cottage so very wavy and nothing was straight or smooth. The customer didn’t want a flat smooth finish as it wouldn’t of matched the rest of the property so I installed eml lath mesh to the old laths/joists and applied a thick bonding coat scratched it up and then done a 2nd coat of bonding and trowelled it out leaving a textured (oldy worldly) finish to match the rest of the property customer was over the moon at the results and couldn’t believe how well it matched with the rest👍

I am being spoilt by customers just recently on today’s breakfast menu it was ……. 😜🥰🤤

Nothing better than getting this brought through when your hard at work with a mild case of man flu 🤧😂

Today I finished of this job for a customer she had noticed her window wall was very cold. So got me to take a look. Upon inspection I noticed there was no insulation what so ever so I removed the wall back to the stud work including the vaulted part of the ceiling that couldn’t be accessed from the loft space. Then installed 70mm PIR insulation board in between the stud work and also normal insulation to the kitchen ceiling area getting right into the eves to get that insulated aswell then reboarded and plastered this should make a massive difference in the cold months keeping the heat in and keep it cooler in the warm months she is now wanting the other bedroom done in a couple of months time to get the same benefits

Today is a good day 😜

Nice start to the year! This ceiling was starting to show signs of coming down (old lath and plaster that had been skimmed over a couple of times) due to the weight of reskims so best option was to remove the coving and badly bowed parts of the ceiling overboard and then plaster so got that all done today back tomorrow to finish off by putting some new coving back up and patching up around the tops where some plaster has come away from the original coving being removed. 👍💪

Happy new year to everyone! What better way to start the year off than booking with SKW Plastering If it’s getting rid of old dated artex, freshening up a room or 2 or even a full house then feel free to get in touch for all of your plastering requirements ☺️

Just recently completed this living room transformation. The customer came to me with a rough idea of what she wanted but wasn’t sure how it would work due to the location of the door coming into the room so after a chat I came up with this solution which she has fallen in love with. I’ll be honest it’s the first 3 sided fireplace I have installed but it came out fantastic and is defiantly my favourite media wall to date! The customer will be getting the skirting installed next week and carpets fitted soon after can’t wait to see once it’s all decorated and finished!
But we overboarded the ceiling done some bonding repairs, green gritted the walls and then built the media wall from start to finish with a friend getting the electrics all sorted and finally plastered it all.
Please get in touch if you want something like this made as I’m really enjoying doing these now😍

When you forget to load up the tubing with corner beads 🙈 so you have to improvise as no merchants nearby. Had to plaster this fire place this morning so had to free hand the corners came out beautifully took a little longer but got it done and customer was over the moon 😉

Hot one today probably wasn’t the best of ideas putting a full bathroom and a bedroom wall on in one hit in this heat but got it done and customer was over the moon

I’m a firm believer of look after others that look after/help you! So whilst I’m out and about around Ipswich pricing jobs and preparing tomorrows job. Luc is hard at work on a different job so a quick pit stop to BMC to get him a sweat treat and keep his sugar levels up 😂 then delivered right to his job lol keep up the hard work Luc 👍👌💪

Boarding and skimming a ceiling and cupboard ceiling today think Luc will fit nicely in that cupboard for skimming 👍😂

Nice mornings work completed customer wanted a bit more room in there bathroom so knocked a stud wall down and then we moved the wall over by 1.5FT to allow that little extra room in the bathroom for them to change the room layout and not lose to much room in the kids bedroom. I moisture boarded the bathroom side and then installed sound proofing insulation inside the wall and finished with plaster boarding the bedroom side. The wall will get plastered when we go back to plaster the bathroom once the customer has ripped it all out.

Bedroom ceiling coved and plastered today perfect finish to the week! Now to enjoy coronation weekend. Have a good one everyone 🤩🇬🇧🥳

Today's job was take out door and door liner build a stud work frame then board and attach new bit of skirting on the living room side and plaster full wall then on the other side of the wall (office side) remove all the skirting and then plaster and blend in as the customer is having built in units installed.

TV unit built and boarded and couple of ceilings repaired and blue gritted ready for plastering the following day

Bedroom completed and wavey walls flattened out.
The customer started to remove the wallpaper on this bedroom ceiling unveiling distemper so we came in ripped the coving down and overboarded the ceiling. When the wall paper was removed on the bedroom walls alot of cracks were unveiled the walls were solid and nothing was blown so best thing for us to do was mesh all the walls up and re-plaster.
Also a couple of hallway walls and a bedroom wall were really wavey and when the light shinned across ud see all the blemishes so re-plastered these and made them nice and flat for the customer.

Not posted in a while been silly busy just finished off a full house newly boarded ceilings throughout, walls repaired from new electrics and plumbing and walls being knocked down and blocked up then plastered from top to bottom. We have also done a few other jobs in between from battening ceilings over old lath and plaster then boarding and skimming. 3 bathroom reskims. Then some patch repair jobs slotted in also. Been pretty rubbish on the before and after pictures in all honesty but here's a few of what I remembered to take 😅

Just a little job done today In preparation for Spires Interiors to work there magic on fitting the rest of the bathroom. Whilst luc was finishing off on a full house we have been working on in Elmswell pics of that to follow tomorrow

Nice start to the week plastering this man cave for Suffolk Extensions at his house 😍

Got to love it when the customer spoils you homemade chocolate crunch biscuits 🤤🥰
