Preparing the Surface for a Lasting Finish
We check the affected surfaces, identify weak areas and agree the extent of preparation. Once the background is suitable, plaster is applied and smoothed, with attention to corners, joints and edges that influence the final appearance.
We agree the work area and preparation before starting.
Caring for the New Surface
Allow the plaster to dry fully before decorating. Keep the room ventilated, avoid strong direct heat and use suitable preparation for fresh plaster before painting.
Check that the surface is dry before decorating.
