Plastering: what we take care of

Paint and wallpaper only look as good as the wall underneath. If your walls are cracked or uneven, new plaster gives you a clean start. We skim, patch and re-plaster rooms, and we render outside walls too.

We plaster single rooms and whole houses, and we can decorate afterwards so you do not need a second firm. We work in Manchester, Radcliffe, Bury, Bolton, Oldham and nearby.

I want to express my gratitude to the entire IVANOV team for their outstanding work on my home hallway project (upstairs and downstairs). From the very beginning, IVANOV's advice was friendly, and it was clear he was genuinely invested in making me happy with the result. His colleagues were equally hard-working. A special thank you to Anthony & Toshko, the grafters who really went above and beyond. The project manager was also a great help, and the communication throughout the project was excellent. I know that if I have any issues or need touch-ups, I can rely on them. Thank you, I look forward to working with you on future projects.

Yessss this is my living room :). Looks amazing isn’t ?

IVANOV have been amazing! Just Amazing, Fantastic and Wonderful !

I am a French living in Manchester since few years and I never met such a professional , patient , polite , respectful person. He brought his expertise to build up a TV Media Wall in very tight deadline. We had very high expectations and he goes beyond that. I recommend him at 100% with no hesitation.

If you need more details just contact me. A true customer very satisfied !

I can only say the whole team was amazing, they did all the details with heart and care what the customer would like. A wonderful experience with the whole project. Luckily to meet this professional team as the work was not simple at all, especially mounting the 85’ TV, it was a very complicated task, but they handled in professional manner for every inch. Wonderful!

Plasterers in Manchester: skimming, replastering and rendering

Skimming and replastering

A skim coat gives tired walls and ceilings a smooth, new surface. When old plaster is blown or crumbling, which is common in older Manchester terraces, we take it back and replaster properly. The result is walls that are ready for paint or wallpaper.

Rendering in Manchester

We render houses from the scaffold, from sand and cement to coloured finishes, and over insulation boards where the wall needs it. A fresh render protects the brickwork and changes how the whole house looks from the street.

Media walls and new walls

Stud walls, plasterboard, media walls with shelves and fire recesses, and new openings. We frame, board and plaster them, then finish them with paint.

Part of a bigger job, or on its own

Plastering is part of almost every renovation we do, but we also take on plastering on its own. Send us photos and rough sizes and we will give you an idea of the cost.

We plaster homes across Manchester and Greater Manchester. Older houses in Bolton, Bury, Oldham and Radcliffe often have tired or blown plaster that needs taking back. We also skim and render in Whitefield, Prestwich, Wigan, Salford, Warrington and Liverpool.

What affects the cost of plastering in Manchester

The cost of plastering depends on the area, the condition of the walls and whether old plaster has to come off first. Ceilings and stairwells take more time than straight walls. Send us photos and rough sizes and we will give you a free quote.

How long plastering takes

A single room can often be plastered quickly. The plaster then needs time to dry before it is painted, and that depends on the room and the season.

Plastering in Manchester: your questions answered

  • How soon can I paint new plaster?

    New plaster has to dry fully first, and that depends on the room and the weather. We tell you when yours is ready.

  • Can you plaster just one wall or ceiling?

    Yes. We take on small repairs as well as whole houses.

  • Is plastering messy?

    It can be, so we cover the floors, protect what stays in the room and clean up when we finish.

  • Do you render outside walls?

    Yes. Rendering is part of what we do, along with inside plastering.

  • Do you plaster in Bolton, Bury and Oldham?

    Yes. We plaster across Greater Manchester, including Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Radcliffe, Wigan and Salford.

  • Can you plaster over old wallpaper or artex?

    Wallpaper has to come off first. Textured ceilings can often be skimmed over, and we check the surface before we decide.

Often done at the same time
