Working near High Grantley village means older properties with solid walls. Toward St Marys Church the housing ages shift. Around Country lanes near High Grantley it’s mixed. That Whitcliffe knowledge lets us estimate accurately before touching the surface — fewer surprises once preparation begins.
Victorian solid walls with three previous skim coats, 1970s Artex hiding who-knows-what, plasterboard fitted yesterday — all need different approaches. Assessment across Whitcliffe determines preparation, preparation determines finish quality.

Your message reaches the plasterer personally — not a middleman scheduling appointments blind. You discuss existing wall condition, preparation requirements, and finishing expectations with the tradesman who’ll actually do the work across Whitcliffe.
Initial chat covers what you’re dealing with — wall condition, finish requirements, known issues. The plasterer uses this to understand scope, then arranges assessment at convenient timing for thorough surface evaluation and detailed pricing.
Site visits involve systematic surface reading — checking soundness, testing absorption, identifying weak spots, noting previous repairs. Preparation needs get explained clearly. Pricing matches actual wall condition, not generic estimates.
Jobs get completed properly — thorough preparation, consistent application, finishing while timing allows. Work areas receive full protection, and thorough tidying follows completion. You receive specific guidance about drying requirements, mist coating, and when full decoration can begin.
Before plastering starts, most people want the same information — preparation, timelines, decoration timing. Here’s the clear, simple detail.
Room timing varies with surface requirements. Straightforward re-skimming in a standard bedroom completes in a day. Add preparation complications, problem areas, or ceiling work, and schedules extend. Accurate timing follows from proper wall inspection.
It varies with condition. Sound plaster that’s firmly attached receives skim over existing surfaces. Blown areas need removing. Multiple previous coats might require stripping. Assessment determines what preparation your walls specifically require.
Skim finishing means thin coats — 2-3mm — applied to create smooth surfaces over existing plaster. Full plastering involves heavier work: base coats on brick, render layers, or building thickness where needed. Most domestic jobs involve skimming existing surfaces rather than complete replastering.
It varies with paint condition. Thin matt emulsion over sound plaster takes skim after proper keying. Heavy coatings, gloss finishes, or silk paint cause bonding problems — usually needing stripping or adhesion treatment. Assessment reveals what preparation your walls require.
Drying varies with conditions — ventilation, temperature, coat thickness. Surface typically dries enough in 2-4 days for mist coating, though full cure takes weeks. Diluted matt emulsion first seals the surface properly. Early decoration causes paint problems.
