Preparation and drying

Old or blown plaster may need removing before new work. We check the existing surface and explain the right approach before starting.

New plaster needs time to dry before decorating. Drying time depends on thickness, temperature and ventilation, and a mist coat is usually needed on fresh plaster.

How plastering projects typically run

  1. Inspect. Check the condition of existing surfaces.
  2. Protect. Cover floors and fixtures.
  3. Prepare. Remove loose material, bead corners, apply bonding where needed.
  4. Plaster. Apply and finish to a smooth surface.
  5. Clean up. Leave the room ready for drying and decoration.

How long before I can paint new plaster?

It varies, but new plaster often needs several days or more to dry fully. Apply a mist coat first. We will advise based on the work completed.

Can you plaster over artex?

In many cases textured ceilings can be skimmed. Older textured coatings may contain asbestos and should be tested before any work that disturbs them.
