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.
Work follows proper sequence – preparation, first coat, second coat, finishing. Dust sheets protect flooring and furniture throughout. Comprehensive cleanup follows completion. You’ll understand drying stages, mist coat requirements, and realistic timelines for decorating.
Planning plastering work brings practical questions – preparation needs, realistic timelines, decoration timing. Here’s the straightforward information most people ask for.
Timing reflects what walls need, not just room dimensions. Straightforward bedroom re-plaster takes a day. Surfaces requiring extensive preparation – bonding, repairs, strip-back – take longer. Ceilings add time. Accurate estimates follow proper surface inspection.
Surface condition determines preparation requirements. Solid existing plaster that’s well-bonded can receive plaster 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.
Plastering applies thin finish layers over prepared existing surfaces. Full plastering includes base coat application, rendering, building thickness on bare walls. Typical home jobs involve plaster finishing over existing plaster rather than plastering systems from scratch.
Paint type and thickness determine preparation. Matt emulsion over good plaster receives plaster after proper keying. Gloss, silk, or heavy paint buildup causes bonding issues – typically requiring stripping or specialist treatment. Assessment reveals what your walls need.
New plaster needs drying time – typically 2-4 days for surface drying, weeks for complete curing. Mist coat first using diluted matt emulsion to seal porous surfaces. Then proper painting follows. Rushing decoration risks adhesion failure and paint defects.
