Smooth walls for a refreshed home
A fresh decorating scheme works best when the surface underneath is even and stable. We help Redbourn homeowners improve tired plaster with repairs or skimming, depending on how extensive the damage is.
Plan the job around drying time
We prepare the surface, complete the agreed work and explain the drying requirements before painting or wallpapering. This helps keep the project moving in the right order.

Advice for Newly Plastered Surfaces
Allow fresh plaster to dry fully before decorating. Reasonable ventilation helps, while strong direct heat can dry the surface unevenly. Drying time depends on thickness and room conditions, so follow the appropriate preparation guidance for the paint or wallpaper you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plastering in Redbourn
Can you skim over existing plaster?
Skimming may be suitable when the existing plaster is firmly attached and properly prepared. Loose or moisture-affected sections should be dealt with first.
Do you handle small plaster repairs?
Yes, we can discuss isolated damage as well as larger rooms. The extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding surface guide the approach.
How long should plaster dry before painting?
Wait until the plaster is fully dry. Ventilation, room temperature, humidity and the thickness of the coat all affect the drying period.
Can ceilings be included in the work?
