Planning plastering work brings practical questions — preparation needs, realistic timelines, decoration timing. Here’s the straightforward information most people ask for.
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.
Surface condition determines preparation requirements. Solid existing plaster that’s well-bonded can receive skim directly after keying. Blown areas, loose coats, or excessive thickness need stripping. Assessment identifies which walls need what — avoiding unnecessary work while ensuring proper preparation.
Skimming applies thin finish layers over prepared existing surfaces. Full plastering includes base coat application, rendering, building thickness on bare walls. Typical home jobs involve skim finishing over existing plaster rather than plastering systems from scratch.
Paint type affects adhesion significantly. Light matt emulsion can receive skim after surface keying. Gloss finishes, silk coatings, or thick paint layers prevent proper bonding — typically requiring removal or specialist preparation. Assessment determines the right approach for your surfaces.
Allow adequate drying time — 2-4 days for surface readiness, 2-3 weeks for complete curing. Apply mist coat first with diluted matt emulsion before proper painting. Rushing decoration causes paint failures on new plaster.
