Planning the Work and Preparing the Background
We agree the rooms and surfaces to be worked on, inspect the background and prepare weak areas and joints. The plaster is then applied and smoothed to create a neat base for the next stage of the project.
We agree the scope and access arrangements before work starts.
Drying Before Decoration
Keep the room ventilated and allow the plaster to dry at a steady pace. Avoid direct heat and wait until the surface is fully dry before painting or wallpapering.
Check the surface is completely dry before applying decoration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plastering in Thundridge
Is skimming the same as plastering?
Skimming is a thin finishing coat used to create a smoother surface; other plastering work may involve repairs, preparation or applying a base coat.
What if the old plaster is loose?
Loose or hollow-sounding plaster needs checking before a new finish is added. Simply covering unstable material can lead to problems later.
Do you work on one room only?
We can discuss a single room, individual wall or a larger project. The surface condition and preparation required help determine the scope.
