Sealing New Plasterboard
New plasterboard is highly porous. Your decorator applies a diluted sealing coat first to consolidate the surface. Your decorator never skips the sealing stage.
Skimmed Plasterboard Finish
Where the skim has visible imperfections, whether light sanding or a return by the plasterer is needed is assessed.
Repaired and Patched Sections
Your decorator feathers repair edges, seals the patched area, then applies 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
Your decorator checks 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.
