Our Professional Wall Plastering Solutions
From historic resale flat remediation to new BTO Level 5 skim smoothing, our direct in-house craftsmen ensure every wall is laser-flat and defect-free.
Whole-House Level 5 Wall Skim Coating
Transforms rough, wavy, or orange-peeled walls into glass-smooth surfaces using premium polymer-modified Saint-Gobain skim coat.
Hollow & Blistered Plaster Restoration
Identifies drummy, hollow wall sections by sound-testing, cleanly hacks defective plaster down to solid masonry, and applies heavy-duty bonding cement.
Anti-Crack Fiberglass Joint Reinforcement
Chases out settling hairline cracks, embeds high-tensile fiberglass mesh, and applies flexible joint compound to permanently stop cracks from reappearing.
Drywall Partition & False Ceiling Joint Leveling
Feathers board joints with 3-stage tapered paper taping and joint compound, creating completely invisible seams across ceilings and drywall partitions.
Our 3-Stage Skim Coating & Plastering Process
Rigorous preparation, moisture curing, and HEPA vacuum power sanding ensure 100% adherence and zero post-handover cracking.
Hollow Wall Inspection & Defective Plaster Hacking
We tap and sound-test every wall section to identify hollow or drummy plaster. Loose or blistered plaster is cleanly chipped back to solid masonry and sealed with bonding primer.
Fiberglass Joint Mesh & Base Skim Coat Application
High-tensile fiberglass mesh is embedded over all joint lines and hairline stress fractures before applying a polymer-modified base skim coat to level out surface dips and bumps.
Ultra-Fine Top Finish Skim & Dust-Free Machine Sanding
Our master plasterers apply an ultra-fine finishing skim coat, followed by orbital vacuum power sanding with HEPA filtration to produce an impeccably flat, paint-ready Level 5 finish.

| Method | Thickness | Best For | Surface Result | Typical Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fine Skim Coating (2-3 Coats) | 1mm – 3mm | New BTOs, resale walls with minor surface waviness | Level 5 Glass Smooth | 2 – 3 Days |
| Cement Plastering (Render) | 10mm – 20mm | Hacked concrete walls, newly laid brickwork/blocks | Structural Plum & Flat | 4 – 7 Days (Curing) |
| Crack Chasing & Mesh Patching | V-Groove (5-10mm) | Structural settling cracks, door frame stress points | Reinforced Anti-Crack | 1 – 2 Days |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wall plastering and skim coating?
Traditional plastering is thick (10mm - 20mm) cement mortar applied over bare brick or concrete to build the wall straight. Skim coating is a fine (1mm - 3mm) smooth compound applied over existing walls or drywall to create an ultra-flat, mirror-smooth surface ready for primer and painting.
Can skim coating solve wavy or uneven walls in older resale HDB flats?
Yes! Mature resale flats often have heavy surface undulations from repeated paint coats or rough original precast joints. A full 2-coat to 3-coat skim coating with laser-edge straight rulers completely flattens and restores the walls.
How many days does whole-house wall skim coating take?
For a typical 4-room or 5-room HDB flat, whole-house wall skimming and machine sanding usually takes 2 to 3 days, followed by 1 day for moisture curing before sealer and paint application.
Do you provide dust extraction during wall sanding?
Yes. We use commercial drywall sanders connected directly to industrial HEPA dust extractors, capturing over 95% of airborne gypsum dust to keep your premises clean and healthy.
