The paper on my wall has torn off. Can you fix it?

Yes. Exposed brown paper needs sealing before skimming, otherwise it bubbles. We seal it first, then skim.

Can you fix walls after wallpaper removal?

Yes, we repair damaged plasterboard surfaces left after wallpaper is removed.

Is a skim coat the same as replastering?

A skim coat repairs the surface layer of an existing wall. We don't re-plaster whole homes.

Will light show imperfections?

We check repairs with a light across the surface to pick up imperfections before we finish.
