What wall levelling includes
Crack repair
Opening, filling and, where needed, taping the crack so it does not reopen.
Holes and dents
Screw holes, shelf marks and knocked corners.
Full skim coat
Levelling a whole wall or ceiling when the surface is uneven or rough.
Wallpaper removal and levelling
Removing old wallpaper, washing off the glue and levelling the surface for paint.
Plasterboard jointing
Taping and filling new plasterboard seams, screw heads and corners.
Sanding and priming
Sanding with a dust-extracting machine and priming before the top coat.
How wall levelling proceeds
- Assessing the surfaces: what is repaired locally, what is levelled entirely.
- Preparation: removing wallpaper or loose paint, washing the surface and covering up.
- Base filling: deep holes, seams and cracks are filled first.
- Finish filling: one or two thin coats, with drying time in between.
- Sanding and priming: the surface is sanded smooth and primed ready for painting.
Good to know before you order
Filler dries coat by coat, so levelling typically takes a couple of days before painting can start, which is worth allowing for in the schedule. Sanding creates dust, so we use a sander connected to a vacuum and cover the space thoroughly. A filled surface must always be primed, otherwise the top coat absorbs unevenly. In older apartment buildings levelling often decides whether the result is good. Once the surface is in order, interior painting is straightforward.
Price
We give a fixed price before work starts. The site visit is free and carries no obligation. The price depends on the starting condition of the surface, the number of filler coats, whether wallpaper needs removing and the area.
