Ceilings and wall skimming in Cape Town

New ceilings and ceiling repairs

We install new ceilings and skim them for a seamless finish, and we repair existing ceilings, including ceilings stained or sagging from water damage. Drywall repairs and installations for walls and ceilings are part of the same work. A stain usually means water is getting in above, so we check the cause first and fix it through roof repairs or waterproofing before the ceiling is repaired.

Skimming and plastering walls

Wall skimming gives a smooth, even surface before painting or wallpapering. Cement plastering gives a smooth, durable finish on interior and exterior walls. Both are often part of a kitchen or bathroom renovation, or of making good around new aluminium windows and doors.

How the job runs

We visit the site, with no call-out fee, look at the ceilings or walls and any cause of damage, and send an official written quotation. Once you accept, we agree a start date, protect the room from dust and do the work. When it is done we go through it with you before sign-off, and the surface is ready for painting.

What affects the price

The area involved, whether ceilings are repaired or replaced, the condition of the existing walls and the access needed all affect the quote, which we give in writing after the site visit.

Complexes, offices and homes

We work in homes, sectional title units and commercial buildings. Water-damaged ceilings in a complex often come from a roof or balcony above, so one contractor for the leak and the ceiling keeps the job simple for the managing agent.
