Do you cover both Cheam Village and North Cheam?

Yes — the whole of Cheam, including Cheam Village, North Cheam and the residential SM2 and SM3 roads in between.

Can you plaster after a chimney breast has been removed?

Yes. Once the builder's work is complete we make good the surrounding wall and skim across the area so the finish is even rather than patched.

Properties we plaster in Cheam

Cheam is characterised by generous inter-war and 1930s detached and semi-detached homes, mock-Tudor frontages around Cheam Village, and pockets of older cottages. Ceilings in these properties are often original lath and plaster or early plasterboard with a skim that has been painted many times over.

In Cheam we do a lot of ceiling overboarding and skimming, plus reinstating flat walls after structural alterations in extended family homes.

Plastering problems common in Cheam

Older ceilings that flex and crack between joists
Textured coatings applied over 1930s ceilings in the 1970s and 1980s
Uneven walls after removing chimney breasts or opening up reception rooms
Deep bay window reveals that need careful making good after new windows

Plastering in Cheam's inter-war housing

Much of Cheam is made up of substantial 1930s detached and semi-detached houses, with mock-Tudor frontages around the village and pockets of older cottages. Rooms are usually generous, which is precisely why the finish matters: a long, well-lit wall in a Cheam reception room shows every ripple that a smaller room would hide.

Ceilings in these properties are typically original lath and plaster or early plasterboard carrying several decades of paint. Where a ceiling still has good adhesion, overboarding and skimming gives a clean flat result without the upheaval of pulling it down. Where it is already flexing between joists, taking it down is the honest answer, and we will say so.

Making good after alterations

A large share of our Cheam work follows structural change — chimney breasts removed, reception rooms knocked through, new windows fitted into deep bay reveals, or a rear extension tied into the original house. All of these leave junctions where old and new surfaces meet at slightly different levels.

Getting that junction invisible is a plastering job rather than a decorating job. We build the surface out where it needs it and skim across the whole area so the eye reads one flat plane instead of a repair.
