Smooth walls, flat ceilings and a decorated finish you will not need to touch for years. The same eye for detail behind our luxury finishes, applied to everyday rooms.
Plastering is where Feature Finishes started, over 20 years ago. Today we skim, repair and decorate rooms across Romford, Essex and London, from single ceilings to whole-house renovations.
Most jobs start with skimming: a thin coat of finishing plaster over existing walls or ceilings to give a smooth, flat surface ready for paint. Where walls are badly damaged we board or replaster first.
Because we also lay floors and polished plaster, we are a good fit for renovations where walls, ceilings and floors all need to come together at the same standard.

Ask a questionSkimming is applying a thin coat of finishing plaster over existing walls or ceilings to create a smooth, flat surface ready for decorating. It is used to cover cracks, uneven plaster or textured finishes.
Usually, yes. Artex is sealed with a bonding coat and skimmed flat. Artex applied before 2000 can contain asbestos, so we arrange a test first and only proceed once it is confirmed safe.
It depends on the size of the room, whether walls and ceiling are included, the condition of the existing plaster and whether you want it decorated. Send photos on WhatsApp for an initial estimate.
Fresh skim usually needs several days to dry, and longer in cold or damp weather. It changes from dark to an even light colour when dry, then gets a mist coat before painting.
Yes. We can skim and decorate as one job, so you are not waiting on or coordinating separate trades.
There is always some dust, but we cover floors and furniture, protect the room and clean up at the end of each day.
Yes. We plaster extensions, loft conversions and full refurbishments, and can finish floors and feature walls in the same project.
