Wall smoothing and removing textured plaster (gotelé)
Say goodbye to gotelé: we leave your walls completely smooth and ready for a current finish.
Gotelé textured plaster collects dust, yellows over time, and gives any home a dated look. Smoothing the walls is the best way to modernise a flat.
We apply smoothing filler, sand it down, and leave the surface perfectly flat (a Q3–Q4 finish), ready to paint or to wallpaper.
Who this service is for
- Older flats with gotelé on the walls or ceilings.
- Renovations after a smooth, modern finish.
- Homes being prepared to sell or rent.
- Anyone who wants perfect walls before painting.

FAQs
Your questions answered
What people ask us most before starting a job.
Is removing gotelé very messy?
It creates dust, but we work with coverings and sanders with extraction to keep it to a minimum, and we leave everything clean when we finish.
Is it better to smooth or strip off the gotelé?
In most cases, smoothing with filler is the cleaner, cheaper option compared with chipping the wall back.
Will the wall be completely smooth?
Yes, the aim is a flat, even finish (Q3–Q4) ready to paint with a professional result.

“They painted the whole flat before we moved in. On time, very tidy, and the finish came out perfect. We'll definitely call them again.”
