About us

Two generations on the trowel

Goldflex Plastering is a family business in the truest sense. Our plasterer started on the tools at sixteen, trained by his father — and more than twenty years later, the two still work side by side on jobs across Merseyside.

That's two generations of skills passed down: the traditional techniques that only come from decades in the trade, combined with modern materials and methods. Every wall gets the same standard of finish, whether it's a small patch or a full house skim.

Fully insured, punctual, and we always leave the site tidy. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote.

Common questions

FAQ

The things people ask us most. Anything else — just get in touch.

Do you offer free quotes?
Yes — all quotes are free and no-obligation. Send us a few details through the form (or photos of the job) and we'll usually come back to you the same day.
How long does skimming a room take?
A typical room (walls and ceiling) takes one to two days depending on size and condition. We'll give you an accurate timescale with your quote.
When can I paint after plastering?
Once the plaster has fully dried — usually around 5–7 days depending on the room, ventilation and time of year. Fresh plaster turns from dark to a uniform light pink when it's ready. Always start with a watered-down mist coat so the paint bonds properly.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
If you can, clear the room or move furniture to the centre — it gives us space to work and keeps your things safe. We bring dust sheets and protection for everything else, and we always tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover my area?
We work across Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area — see the full list of towns above. If you're a bit further out, give us a call anyway; we travel further for the right job.
Are you insured?
Yes — we carry full public liability insurance on every job for your peace of mind.

Plaster skimming

Flawless, paint-ready walls and ceilings — over new plasterboard, tired old plaster or dated artex.

What's included

Skimming is the finishing coat that makes a wall — a thin layer of fresh plaster applied over an existing surface to leave it perfectly smooth and ready for decorating.

It's the answer to most of the problems we get called about: cracked and crazed old plaster, walls scarred by wallpaper removal, uneven surfaces, and artex ceilings you'd rather forget.

  • Skim coats over new plasterboard for new builds and extensions
  • Re-skimming tired or damaged walls and ceilings
  • Over-boarding and skimming artex ceilings
  • Full room and whole house skimming
  • Clean, protected working — dust sheets down, tidy on leaving

Every skim is finished to the same standard: flat under raking light, crisp into corners and edges, ready for a mist coat once dry.

External & internal rendering

Durable, weather-resistant renders that protect your property and transform how it looks from the street.

What's included

Render is your property's first line of defence against Merseyside weather — and done well, it completely lifts the look of a house. We apply renders to brick, block and existing substrates, inside and out.

  • External rendering for houses, extensions and garden walls
  • Re-rendering over tired, cracked or blown render
  • Internal rendering as a base coat for skimming
  • Patch-matching repairs to existing render
  • Advice on the right system and finish for your property

We'll always be straight with you about what your walls need — sometimes it's a patch repair, sometimes a full re-render. The quote will spell out exactly what's involved either way.

Plaster repairs

Cracks, holes and damp damage — repaired and blended so you'd never know anything was wrong.

What's included

Not every job needs a full re-skim. A good repair, properly matched to the surrounding plaster, is often all a wall needs — and it's a fraction of the cost.

  • Cracks, holes and dents in walls and ceilings
  • Water and damp damage, once the source is fixed
  • Blown and hollow plaster cut out and reinstated
  • Making good after electricians, plumbers and window fitters
  • Small jobs welcome — no job too small

We'll assess whether a repair or a re-skim is the right call and give you an honest recommendation with the quote.

New builds & renovations

Full plastering packages for builders, contractors and self-builders — boarded, skimmed and finished on schedule.

What's included

We work alongside builders and contractors on new builds, extensions and full renovations — providing the complete plastering package from boarding to final skim.

  • Plasterboarding and dry lining
  • Full skim throughout — walls and ceilings
  • Internal render base coats where needed
  • Phased working to fit your build schedule
  • Reliable turnaround — we turn up when we say we will

With two generations on the tools we can scale to the job, keep to programme, and deliver a finish that makes the decorator's life easy.
