Fusion Recon Renovations / Plastering & Skimming Services in London
Plastering & Skimming for High-End London Homes
Fusion Recon Renovations provides meticulous plastering and skimming for London homeowners, landlords and investors who want perfectly smooth walls and ceilings ready for decoration. From single-room refreshes to full-property refurbishments, we create clean, even surfaces that make your paint colours, lighting and interior design look sharper and more refined.
If you are searching for a professional plasterer near me who understands high-end residential standards, we can plan, manage and complete the plastering stage as part of a wider scheme – often alongside structured residential renovations and full-house upgrade projects. You can see real examples of our finish quality in the project gallery from London homes and apartments.
Why Quality Plastering & Skimming Matters
Good plastering is the foundation of every beautiful interior. Uneven walls, hairline cracks or rough skim coats will always show through, no matter how expensive your paint, tiles or wall coverings might be. That is why we spend time preparing each surface properly before applying new plaster or finish coats.
Smooth Surfaces Ready for Painting & Decorating
Once structural work and first fix are complete, we create consistent, smooth surfaces so that your chosen finishes look crisp and intentional. A neat skim coat makes it far easier to achieve sharp cutting-in lines, flawless ceilings and modern, minimal shadow gaps when you move on to painting & decorating.
Blending Old & New Plaster in London Properties
Many London homes combine original plaster with newer extensions and alterations. We carefully feather new plaster into existing surfaces so that everything reads as one coherent scheme. This approach works especially well on larger refurbishment projects, where plastering is coordinated across multiple rooms and levels.
Types of Plastering & Skimming We Carry Out
Every project starts with a site visit so we can assess existing surfaces, check moisture levels and see how walls and ceilings sit within the room. From there we recommend the best combination of plasterboard, bonding, backing coats and finish coats for your property and overall renovation plan.
Full-Room & Whole-Property Re-Skims
If your walls are generally sound but look tired, patchy or overfilled, a full re-skim can transform the space without rebuilding everything from scratch. We often include whole-house re-skims as part of broader full house refurbishments, so that every bedroom, hallway and living area feels consistent from one room to the next.
Plasterboard, Partitions & New Ceilings
Where walls are uneven or new layouts are being created, we can install new studwork and plasterboard before skimming. This is ideal when forming new rooms, boxing in services or tidying up after structural work, and ties neatly into more complex structural alterations and layout changes handled through our wider renovation and commercial builders services.
Making Good After Electrics, Plumbing & Other Trades
Rewires, new plumbing runs and other intrusive works often leave channels, chases and holes in the plaster. We coordinate with your electrician, plumber or heating engineer to make good these areas so that, once we have skimmed, there is no visible trace of the disruption. This is particularly useful when plastering forms part of a wider refurbishment rather than a standalone service.
Plastering for Bathrooms, Kitchens & Tiled Areas
High-moisture rooms need extra care if they are going to stay looking sharp over time. We assess ventilation, substrate condition and the type of finish you want before deciding on the right plaster and preparation system for each space.
Bathroom Plastering & Moisture-Resistant Substrates
In bathrooms and shower rooms we often combine moisture-resistant boards, tanking systems and specialist skim coats to create a stable base for tiles and paint. This ties in perfectly with full bathroom renovations, where we handle everything from first fix to final decoration.
Kitchen Walls, Ceilings & Backsplashes
Modern kitchens with open-plan layouts, concealed lighting and feature splashbacks demand straight lines and flat surfaces. We prepare walls and ceilings so that cabinetry, worktops and lighting sit against crisp plastered backgrounds as part of wider kitchen renovations.
Perfect Substrates for Wall & Floor Tiling
Tiles highlight every imperfection in the surface beneath them. We level and skim walls and, where required, install suitable boards so tilers can achieve neat grout lines and long-lasting adhesion. This seamless handover is especially important when your project includes extensive wall & floor tiling in bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms.
Plastering for Landlords, Investors & Refurbishment Projects
For rental properties and investment portfolios, plastering needs to be both durable and efficient so that void periods are kept to a minimum. We help you choose specifications that balance longevity with budget and can phase works across multiple units or properties as part of a larger plan.
Fast Turnarounds Between Tenancies
Where time is critical, we focus on the areas that will make the greatest visual impact, such as entrance halls, living rooms and key bedrooms. Our team can work as part of broader landlord refurbishment packages, coordinating plastering with decoration, flooring and minor repairs to get your property back on the market quickly.
Working Alongside Wider Refurbishment Teams
On larger projects we integrate our plastering schedule with other trades so that the overall programme runs smoothly. That might mean working alongside your main contractor or providing our own multi-trade team through our commercial builders service in mixed-use and residential buildings.
Linking Interior Plastering with External Rendering
Many homes benefit from coordinated internal and external upgrades. When you are insulating or re-rendering the outside of a property, it often makes sense to refresh internal surfaces at the same time, especially around window reveals and openings.
Consistent Finishes Inside & Out
By planning internal plastering together with any external rendering, we can ensure that junctions, corners and edges align neatly. This gives the whole property a more deliberate, high-end feel, particularly on period terraces and larger detached homes, where façades and interiors need to work together visually.
Our plastering team is used to working alongside façade upgrades, window replacements and other exterior works, so the transition between inside and out feels seamless rather than pieced together.
