At A & A Decorators, we offer professional plastering services across Stirling, Falkirk, Glasgow, and the wider central Scotland region. Whether you need a full room re-plaster, a smooth skim coat before decorating, or a neat patch repair after building work, our team delivers a clean, consistent finish — every time.
As decorators, we understand better than most what a good plaster surface means to the final result. A flawless paint job starts with a flawless wall, which is why we take plastering seriously and hold our plasterers to the same high standards we apply to all our work.
Our Plastering Services
Skim Coating
Skim coating applies a thin, smooth layer of finishing plaster over existing surfaces — ideal for walls that are in reasonable condition but too rough or uneven for direct painting. This is one of the most common pre-decoration treatments we carry out, and it makes a significant difference to the quality of the final finish.
Our Plastering Services
Full Re-Plastering
If your walls or ceilings have deteriorated beyond repair — whether from damp, age, or previous poor workmanship — a full re-plaster is the right approach. We strip back to the substrate and apply new plaster from scratch, giving you a clean, durable surface ready for decorating.
Our Plastering Services
Patch Plastering & Repairs
After electrical work, pipework, or structural alterations, walls often need localised repairs before they can be painted. We match the surrounding texture as closely as possible and feather the edges so repairs blend seamlessly into the rest of the surface.
Our Plastering Services
Plasterboard & Dot-and-Dab
We work with plasterboard installations for new builds, extensions, and internal alterations. Whether boards are being fixed directly to studwork or dot-and-dabbed to masonry, we ensure a level, stable surface before finishing.
Our Plastering Services
Artex & Textured Ceiling Treatment
Older properties across Stirling and Falkirk frequently have Artex or textured ceilings. We can skim over suitable surfaces to achieve a smooth, modern finish — transforming the look of a room without the disruption of full removal.

Plastering & Decorating — Better Together
Plastering and decorating are closely connected trades, and having them managed by the same company makes for a smoother, better-coordinated job. We handle the sequencing, the drying times, and the preparation — so by the time paint goes on, the surface is exactly as it should be.
This is particularly valuable for clients who want a room fully transformed: new plaster, primed, and finished to a high standard without the hassle of coordinating multiple tradespeople.

FAQ Additions
Do you offer plastering as well as decorating?
Yes — A & A Decorators provides plastering services including skim coating, full re-plastering, and patch repairs across Stirling, Falkirk, and central Scotland. Plastering is often carried out as part of a wider decorating project to ensure the best possible surface before painting.
Can you plaster and then decorate in one job?
Absolutely. Managing both trades under one company means better coordination, consistent quality control, and less hassle for you. We handle the full process from bare wall to finished room.
How long does plaster need to dry before painting?
New plaster typically needs a minimum of four to six weeks to fully dry before paint is applied, though this depends on conditions such as temperature and ventilation. We’ll advise you on the right timeframes for your specific job.
