General Questions
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation quotes for all plastering and rendering work. We’ll visit your property to assess the project and provide an accurate estimate based on your specific requirements.
The duration depends on the size of the project and complexity of work required. A single room plastering job typically takes 1-2 days, while external rendering for an average house can take 5-7 days. We’ll provide a specific timeline during your consultation.
Plastering is primarily for internal walls and ceilings, creating a smooth finish for decorating. Rendering is the external equivalent, providing both decorative and protective qualities to outside walls. Rendering materials are specifically designed to withstand weather conditions.
Plastering Questions
Yes, ideally the room should be as empty as possible. We recommend removing furniture and belongings or moving them to the center of the room. We’ll cover any remaining items with dust sheets for protection.
Initial drying typically takes 3-4 days, but full curing can take up to a month. The exact drying time depends on ventilation, temperature, and humidity levels. We’ll provide specific guidance for your project.
For the best results, we recommend removing wallpaper before plastering. Plastering over wallpaper can lead to adhesion problems and an uneven finish. We can help advise on proper wall preparation.
