About Perfectly Plastered York
Perfectly Plastered York is a local plastering business providing high-quality plastering services across York and the surrounding areas. We specialise in internal plastering work, including wall skimming, ceiling plastering, artex covering and plastering after damp-proofing works.
We work with homeowners, landlords and property professionals throughout York, delivering clean, reliable plastering with a focus on long-lasting finishes rather than quick cover-ups.
A Local Plasterer You Can Rely On
With over a decade of hands-on experience, we’ve worked on a wide range of properties across York — from modern homes to older terraces and period properties that require a more considered approach.
Much of our work involves correcting poor previous plastering, repairing damaged walls, or preparing surfaces properly before re-skimming. We take the time to assess each job and recommend the most appropriate solution, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all fix.
Our Approach
We believe good plastering starts with correct preparation. Cutting corners often leads to cracking, poor finishes or plaster failure further down the line — something we aim to avoid on every job.
Our approach includes:
Proper assessment of existing plaster and substrates
Honest advice on repair, overboarding or re-skimming
Clean, careful working practices
Smooth, even finishes ready for decoration
We aim to complete work efficiently while maintaining high standards from start to finish.
Experience With York Properties
York has a large number of older homes where walls and ceilings may have been repaired multiple times over the years, or consist of mixed materials. We’re experienced in working with these properties and understand the common issues that arise, including uneven surfaces, blown plaster and damage caused by damp.
This local experience allows us to tailor our work to the property, rather than relying on generic methods that may not be suitable.

POPULAR QUESTIONS
Most wall skimming jobs can be completed within one to two days, depending on the size of the area and the condition of the existing plaster. Larger properties or walls requiring additional preparation may take slightly longer.
In many cases, yes. Before skimming, we assess the condition of the existing plaster to ensure it’s stable and suitable. If areas are loose, blown, or badly damaged, we’ll carry out the necessary repairs first to ensure a long-lasting finish.
Freshly skimmed plaster usually takes between 3 to 7 days to dry fully, depending on ventilation and conditions. Once dry, walls should be mist-coated before applying final paint finishes.
Yes. Skim coating is ideal for creating a smooth, even surface after repairs, electrical work, or patching. Proper preparation ensures previous work is fully blended and invisible once painted.
