Make surface preparation part of the plan
A fresh coat of paint can reveal hollows, ridges and old repairs. For Welwyn properties, we assess the existing plaster and recommend a suitable repair or skim so the wall is better prepared for its next finish.
Plastering matched to your project
Whether you are improving one room or working through a renovation, we can help with skimming, plaster repairs, ceiling work and dry lining. We agree the scope after checking the surface.
We provide plastering, skimming and repair work in Welwyn, with recommendations based on the surface and your planned finish.

Looking After New Plaster
Allow the plaster to dry naturally with reasonable ventilation. Avoid strong direct heat and wait until the surface is fully dry before painting or wallpapering. Drying time varies with thickness and room conditions, and the preparation should suit the chosen decorating product.
