Plastering Services
Many people make the mistake of attempting to plaster their homes themselves, and when the result does not look as they imagined, they reach out to our team at IVCG for help. Our job is to respond to your requests and prepare your wall for painting, wallpapering or tiling.
The plaster itself has not only an aesthetic but also a functional role. It protects the walls from moisture, provides heat retention and improves sound insulation.
If you are looking for quality plastering services, you can hire IVCG, as we handle everything from concept to creation for your home or business improvement.

What Do Our Plastering Services Include?
After a thorough inspection of your property we conclude if you need small repairs or a massive restoration of the surfaces.
We first apply plaster to the inner surface of walls or ceilings. This is a layer of material that strengthens, protects, and also repairs damaged walls. After that we apply a topcoat to the dry wall to even out the surface, making it much smoother.
For severely damaged walls, it’s essential to hire a plasterer. In that case, it is not worth plastering by yourself. Our expertise will be needed to achieve a beautiful and high-quality final result.
At IVCG, we specialise in this type of work, and we have the necessary plastering machines and instruments to do our job efficiently.
Interior Plastering
We offer interior plastering – it provides soundproofing and vapour permeability of the walls. Indoor plaster also serves to protect the internal surface of the walls.
Exterior Plastering
The purpose of exterior plastering services is to protect the external walls from high temperatures and rain.
In addition, of course, we can help you with unique plasters for other special purposes. Call IVCG if you have any questions about your case.
Skimming and Smooth Finish
One technique we use for plastering a wall is skimming. This helps level the surface of a wall that has already been plaster applied. It involves applying a thin coat of mortar and other plastering techniques if necessary.
The purpose of smoothing the walls is to prepare them for painting or wallpapering. This is a crucial finishing step that calls for accuracy and technical understanding. Bumps, burrs, and other damages can lower the room’s overall appearance.

Textured Plastering
Using specific approaches, textured plastering can create a variety of interesting surface textures on your walls or ceilings. It can be used in domestic and business buildings.
Common designs include:
- Popcorn
- Stipple
- Swirl
- Knockdown.
In addition to being aesthetic, textured plaster also has practical functions – it soundproofs and effectively hides some defects on the walls.

Materials That We Use
General dry screed is ideal for both plastering and surface preparation. It is usually made of lime, cement, sand or other gypsum-based materials, but there are also special types used for waterproofing and thermal insulation, which contain water glass.
These can be:
- Extra waterproofing
- Thermal insulation
- Acid resistance
- Alkali resistance.
As in all phases of construction, there are distinct differences in the characteristics of the materials. We can certainly guarantee that we don’t pinch pennies on the quality of the materials we use. The reason is that lower-quality mortar is much harder to apply, requires more work, and has a greater chance of damage.
In comparison, high-quality gypsum material is not much more expensive, but it’s worth it. It’s homogeneous, durable, dries much faster, and smoothing is effortless. This way, you save on your budget for labour and repeated repairs.
When Do You Need a Qualified Plasterer?
If the existing plaster is damaged, it is unfortunately unavoidable to re-plaster the affected area. The area can be damaged due to soaking or vibrations generated during demolition work. The best solution is to have the damaged surface restored by a professional.
In cases of errors resulting from poor construction, the repair work can vary. Renovation can typically be done by repainting or re-plastering, depending on the condition of the wall and the purpose. Rarely, it may also be necessary to completely take down the plaster.
