Plastering

Smooth walls and ceilings - from a patch repair after a leak to a whole room skimmed, plasterboarded or plastered from bare.

Good plastering is preparation and timing more than anything: raking out what is loose, the right backing, and a finish flat enough that decorating is a pleasure instead of a fight. Dave is the plasterer who often decorates the room afterwards as well, so the finish has to be right twice over.

Common questions

Can you just patch a damaged area?

Yes - patches after leaks, removed fireplaces or rewiring are routine, blended so you cannot see where old meets new.

How soon can I paint fresh plaster?

Fresh plaster needs to dry out properly first - usually around a week depending on the room - then a watered-down mist coat before the final colour. Dave will tell you when it is ready.

“Erected a false ceiling, insulated, plaster-boarded and plastered it. Professionally presented and a keen eye for detail. Plaster work was smooth with an excellent finish.”
