Our Plastering Process

We follow a clear, careful process to make sure every plastering project is completed to a high standard. From the first visit to the final checks, we focus on proper preparation, tidy working and a smooth finish that is ready for the next stage of your project.

Site Visit & Assessment

We start by visiting your property to assess the condition of the walls and ceilings, discuss the work required and recommend the most suitable plastering approach.

Protecting the Work Area

Before any plastering begins, we take care to protect floors, furniture and surrounding areas so the job is carried out as cleanly and carefully as possible.

Surface Preparation & Repairs

Loose material is removed, damaged areas are repaired and the background is properly prepared so the new plaster has the right base to bond well and perform properly.

Application of Base Plaster Where Needed

Where the surface requires it, a base plaster or backing coat is applied to help level the area and create a solid foundation for the final finish.

Skim Coat & Finishing

A skim coat is then applied carefully to create a smooth, even surface ready for decorating. Attention to detail at this stage is key to achieving a neat, professional result.

Final checks & tidy finish

Once the work is complete, we carry out final checks, leave the area clean and tidy, and provide straightforward advice on drying times and the next steps before decorating.

Plastering FAQs

If you are planning plastering work in your home, it is natural to have questions about the process, drying times, preparation and what to expect. Here are some of the questions homeowners often ask before getting started.
How long does plaster take to dry?

Drying time can vary depending on the type of plaster, the thickness of the application, airflow and room temperature. In many cases, plaster will need several days to dry properly before painting, and it should be allowed to dry naturally for the best result.

In most cases, wallpaper should be removed before plastering begins. Painted surfaces may sometimes be suitable, but this depends on their condition and whether they provide a sound background. The surface always needs to be assessed and prepared properly first.

Yes, plaster repairs can often be carried out to deal with cracks, holes, damaged areas and worn surfaces. The best approach will depend on the extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding wall or ceiling.
It is always helpful to clear as much space as possible before work begins, especially smaller items and valuables. If larger furniture cannot be moved out of the room, we can advise on the best way to protect the area before plastering starts.

Plastering can create dust and disruption during preparation, but careful working practices make a big difference. We take care to protect the work area, keep things as tidy as possible and leave the space clean and orderly once the job is complete.

In many cases, yes. Skimming over artex can be a good way to create a smoother, more modern finish on ceilings or walls, provided the existing surface is suitable and properly prepared first.
Skimming is the application of a thin finishing coat of plaster over a suitable surface to create a smooth, even finish. It is often used to refresh tired walls and ceilings before decorating.

Common signs include cracks, loose or blown plaster, uneven surfaces, flaking areas, visible repairs and walls that are difficult to decorate neatly. A proper assessment will help determine whether a repair, skim coat or more extensive plastering work is the best option.

Yes, we carry out both wall plastering and ceiling plastering for domestic properties. This can include repairs, skimming and full-room plastering where needed.

New plaster should be allowed to dry fully before you paint it. British Gypsum advises that plaster should be thoroughly dry before decorating, although a coat of permeable paint can be applied in the interim if needed, and decoration should follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations.
