Skimming, roughcasting and renovation plastering for Dundee homeowners, finished properly.
What We Do
From a single ceiling skim to a full renovation, every job gets the same close attention most tradespeople reserve for their own home.
A flawless, glass-smooth finish applied to walls and ceilings — the essential base for a fresh coat of paint or new wallpaper.
Traditional harling and roughcast repairs that protect Dundee's sandstone and render homes from Scotland's weather, all year round.
Complete first and second-fix plastering for new-build homes and extensions across Dundee, finished ready for decoration.
Tired, dated artex ceilings and walls skimmed smooth without the mess, dust and cost of stripping it back first.
Full property renovations, knock-throughs and refurbishments plastered to a standard that stands up to close inspection.
Tell us what the room looks like now and how you want it to feel — we'll recommend the right approach and a fair, honest price.

Common Questions
Cost depends on room size, wall condition and finish type. A single ceiling skim typically starts from a modest fixed fee, while full renovations are quoted after a free, no-obligation site visit — so you get an accurate price, not a guess.
In most cases, yes. We can skim directly over sound artex to leave a smooth, modern finish — usually quicker, less disruptive and more affordable than stripping it back first.
Freshly skimmed walls generally need around 5 to 7 days to fully dry, depending on ventilation, room size and the weather, before they're ready for mist coating and paint. We'll always give you a realistic timeline for your job.
Yes — we regularly repair and renew roughcast (harling) on traditional Dundee and Angus properties, matching texture and colour so patch repairs blend seamlessly with the existing render.
We fully sheet and protect floors, furniture and fittings before we start, and clean down thoroughly at the end of every job — so you're left with a finished room, not a building site.
Yes. We offer free, no-obligation quotes for homeowners across Dundee, Broughty Ferry, Monifieth and the wider Angus and Fife area.
