F.A.Q.
When establishing the scope of a project, these are some of things worth considering and should serve as a guide. Because of the variables, we carry out a no-obligation site assessment before providing a quote.
How can we help you?
Can you skim over existing plaster?
You will need to ensure any damaged old plaster is removed and any brickwork beneath is cleaned off. Only then can our plasterer apply a fresh skim coat to old plaster walls. This will obviously ensure a superior finish.
Can you skim over paint?
Generally yes you can plaster skim over paint. If the paint is in poor condition, or the wall has recently been painted, it is best to avoid plastering directly over the paint.
Can you plaster over Artex?
Yes you can plaster of Artex, after preparation. The easiest solution for ridding of unwanted artex is to manually remove the peaks by scraping the Artex back to a flat surface.
Is it better to plaster or Drylining to cover a wall?
Plaster is more sound-proof, but using drylining a wall usually means better insulation. A dense material, plaster blocks sound transmission. However, even though plaster is denser, it can’t beat the thermal capabilities of standard drylining coupled with modern insulation commonly found today.
Does the old plaster need to come off before applying the new layer?
For a perfect finish, that will last the test of time, damaged or crumbling plaster should be removed in advance of applying new plaster. We also recommend that very old plaster be removed.
Can you skim plasterboard?
Yes. Skim plaster can be used to cover plasterboard. I can also be applied to an existing plaster finish.
What is skimming a wall?
Skimming a wall is a technique which involves applying a thin coat to walls. The aim is to create the smooth perfect surface required for painting or decorating.
How long before I can paint over plaster?
We recommend that you wait at least one week before painting new plaster. Depending on the environment, it may take even longer for the plaster to dry. Sometimes up to one month.
Does plaster come in different colours?
Yes. We can add colour pigment to the plaster during the mixing stage. We ensures that the colour is distributed throughout the plaster for a consistent quality finish.
Should coving or cornice be attached before or after plastering?
We recommend that you attach coving or cornice after the room has been plastered. This means that you will not be left with unplastered areas, should you wish to remove either the coving or cornice further down the line.
