When is it Time for Plastering?
There are plenty of reasons to call in our professional plasterers. Sometimes the signs are obvious—cracked ceilings, blown render, or patches that just won’t hold paint. Other times, it’s simply about getting the smooth, even base you need before decorating.
You might need our plastering services if:
You’re extending or renovating a property
Damp or water damage has affected your walls or ceilings
The existing surface is outdated or textured
You want a modern, clean look throughout
You’re preparing for paint, paper, or tiling
A previous job wasn’t done to standard
Professional plastering not only looks better—it also lasts longer, saving you time and money down the line.

FAQ: Plastering
How long does it take for plaster to dry?
Usually between 3 and 5 days, depending on room temperature and ventilation.
Can you plaster over paint or wallpaper?
Yes, with the right prep. We’ll key the surface properly and use primers for good adhesion.
Do you offer external rendering too?
Absolutely—we handle both interior and exterior rendering projects.
What’s the difference between dry lining and skimming?
Dry lining uses plasterboard with taped joints, while skimming applies a fresh coat of plaster over walls or ceilings.
