Plastering Tips

If you have any queries about plastering and similar services, just get in touch.

For people who might want some more information about plastering, here are some hints and tips which we hope you find useful:

Rounded splayed reveals let more light into a room

Ensuring fresh plaster is completely dry before painting is essential to prevent staining or flaking of the paint

Allowing a freshly plastered room to dry as naturally as possible is best

Opening windows and skylights for natural ventilation helps prevent the moisture condensing on windows and pooling on sills.

Dehumidifiers = good.

Turning the heating up to max = bad.

Fresh plaster is very thirsty

So buy a special paint for fresh plaster, or simply give it two coats of a cheap white matt emulsion. This way you cut down on the amount of expensive finishing coloured paint you will need to buy.
