Set Up for the Painter

Every surface left flat and polished so the decorator can crack on with no filling or chasing.

Common questions, plainly answered.

How long does a room take to plaster?

A typical room is a one to two day job depending on whether it needs boarding first. Keith will give you a firm timescale when he quotes.

Can you skim over artex or old walls?

Yes. Sound artex and old plaster can be dubbed out and skimmed over. Where it is loose or blown, it comes off first and the wall is made good before skimming.

How long before I can paint fresh plaster?

Fresh plaster needs to dry out fully, usually a week or more depending on the weather and the room, before it takes a mist coat. Keith will talk you through it.
