Plastering gets completed properly — correct preparation, consistent application, careful finishing. Protection covers work areas throughout, and thorough tidying follows. Clear guidance covers drying stages, when emulsion misting should happen, and realistic decoration timelines.
Before plastering starts, most people want the same information — preparation, timelines, decoration timing. Here’s the clear, simple detail.
Completion time varies with surface condition rather than room size alone. Average bedroom on decent plaster takes a day. Walls requiring stripping, bonding, or substantial prep work take longer. Ceiling inclusion adds time. Assessment provides realistic scheduling for your particular surfaces.
Some do, some don’t — existing condition decides. Sound plaster gets keyed and skimmed over. Hollow-sounding blown areas need removing. Multiple heavy coats might require stripping back. Assessment reveals what preparation your surfaces genuinely require.
Skimming means thin finish coats over prepared existing surfaces. Full plastering includes base coats on brick, render application, depth building. Typical home jobs involve re-skimming existing plaster rather than plastering from scratch — thinner applications, quicker completion.
Depends on the paint and what’s beneath. Thin matt emulsion over good plaster skims after proper keying preparation. Thick paint layers, gloss finishes, or silk coatings prevent proper adhesion — usually needing removal or bonding treatment. Assessment determines requirements for your surfaces.
New plaster needs drying time before paint. Surface usually appears dry within 2-4 days, but complete curing takes 2-3 weeks depending on thickness and ventilation. Mist coat with watered-down emulsion before proper painting — rushing risks adhesion failures.
