A fireplace removed and 2 rooms plastered!
One of our latest plastering projects in Dorchester, Dorset: the removal of an outdated fireplace and a full room re-plastering, leaving behind a fresh, clean canvas for a modern interior refresh.
The Project Brief
Our client wanted to open up their living space by removing a dated fireplace that no longer served a purpose or fit with their vision for a cleaner, more contemporary layout. In many homes, fireplaces become underused features that dominate the layout and limit furniture arrangement options. Removing them opens up both space and possibilities.
Fireplace Removal Process
The first step was the safe and careful removal of the fireplace. We ensured all structural elements were properly assessed and managed, paying attention to chimney stability and debris control. Our team always follows best practices to protect the property and keep disruption to a minimum.
Once removed, we prepared the exposed surfaces for the next phase. Fireplace removals often uncover older materials and uneven walls—this project was no exception. We leveled the area and prepped the walls for a seamless finish.
Professional Plastering for a Smooth, Modern Finish
With the fireplace gone, the room needed a consistent and flawless surface to tie everything together. That’s where our expert plastering services came in. We applied a smooth skim coat across the entire room, blending new and old surfaces to create a clean, modern look.
Whether you're preparing for paint, wallpaper, or simply want a refined finish, professional plastering makes a massive difference in the final result—and in this case, it really brought the space to life.
The Result
The transformation was striking. What was once a dark and dated room with a bulky fireplace is now a bright, open space ready for redecoration. Our client was thrilled with the result—and so were we.
This kind of work is at the heart of what we do: combining skilled craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help homeowners transform the way they live.
