Sealing New Plasterboard
New plasterboard is highly porous. We apply a diluted sealing coat first to consolidate the surface. We never skip the sealing stage.
Skimmed Plasterboard Finish
Where the skim has visible imperfections, we assess whether light sanding or a return by the plasterer is needed.
Repaired and Patched Sections
We feather repair edges, seal the patched area, then apply the topcoat across the full wall section for the best result.
Loft Conversions and Extensions
Loft conversions typically have stud-and-plasterboard walls and sloping ceilings. See our ceiling painting page. For full programmes, see our home renovation page.


Here’s How It Works
1. Assessment of Readiness
We check the board or skim is fully dry before any preparation begins.
2. Sealing Coat Application
Diluted sealing coat applied to all new or skimmed surfaces.
3. Drying and Assessment
Sealing coat dried fully. Surfaces checked for uneven absorption.
4. Light Sanding
Raised nibs or minor imperfections lightly sanded.
5. Topcoat Application
Two coats of finish emulsion in the chosen colour.
