Common questions
Helpful answers before you request a quotation.
A few practical details about quotations, preparation, timescales and what to expect when arranging plastering work.
What information do you need to provide a quote?
A short description of the work, clear photographs, the approximate room or area size and your postcode are a useful starting point. Some jobs will require a visit before a firm quotation can be given.
Can you skim over existing plaster?
Often, yes, provided the existing background is sound and suitable. Loose, hollow, contaminated or heavily cracked areas may need repair or removal first. The surface should always be assessed before deciding on the preparation.
Can you cover an Artex ceiling?
Depending on its condition, an Artex ceiling may be prepared and skimmed or overboarded before plastering. Older textured coatings may need additional checks before they are disturbed.
How long does fresh plaster take to dry?
Drying time varies with thickness, background, ventilation, temperature and the size of the room. Fresh plaster should be allowed to dry fully and evenly before it is decorated.
Do you take on smaller plaster repairs?
Yes. Patching, damaged areas, cracks, service chases and local ceiling or wall repairs are included, subject to the condition and practical size of the job.
