Great PreparationList Item 3
One of the reasons our plastering work stands out is because of excellent preparation. And no, we're not talking about sheeting up for cleaniness. We are talking about making sure plaster can adhere to your walls and ceilings.
There are numerous techniques we use for this, but the most common is removing grime and dirt from walls that will prevent plaster from aherering. This is most common in kitchens where customers have oil splashes on the walls from cooking.
Another method that is really important is taping the gaps between plasterboard. We are happy to explain what type of preparation is needed for your walls and ceilings (just give us a call!).

Check Your Walls & CeilingsList Item 1
As mentioned previously, every plastering job requires a unique set of skills and preparation. Some walls are severly damaged and will need to be filled/taped before we can start. Other people's walls and ceilings contain artex and want to plaster for a smooth finish. Regardless, we will put together a plan to redesign your walls after you have accepted our quote.

Choose The MaterialsList Item 2
The next step would be for us to choose material and purchase them from popular building merchants such as B&Q. We always ensure to purchase the highest quality materials for our customers.

Mixing The PlasterList Item 3
Mixing plaster is more complex than people might think. It's important to get the correct measurements, otherwise, you could end up with many problems. An important part of mixing gypsum plaster is using clean water. Using dirty water may cause the plaster to dry too soon, which is a plasterers worst nightmares!
Once putting the correct amount of plaster and water in a bucket, we use a mixing drill to mix the plaster to the perfect consistancy. The perfect consistance is thick, but too too thick!
-
Apply It To Your Walls With A TrowlList Item 4
Once the plaster has been mixed, it's time to get to work on your walls and ceilings. We use a trowl to apply plaster to walls and ceilings, ensuring their are no bumps and inconsistancies throughout the process. When plastering, a minimum of 2 coats is required, unless you're skimming over existing plaster.

While sand and cemenet rendering still holds the medal for the common commen in Canterbury, it may not always be the case. K rendering is becoming increasingly popular for it's multiple colour options, durability, weather resitance, and low maintenance.
Plasterboarding
Our plasterboarding service is normally for customers who have built a new property or wall in their homes. We can plasterboard both walls and ceilings, and then go on the plaster them after, leaving the most durable and best finish.
Dot & Dab
Dot & dab is when you fit plasterboard to a wall or ceiling. This is done by using a thin layer of adhesive on plasterboard. It's not as durable as plaster but tends to be a simplier process and doesn't take as long. You can plasterboard an entire room in 1 day (depending on the size).
Plaster Skimming
You may have heard of skimming before. It's also referred to as the final layer when plastering a wall or ceiling. Some surfaces can be skimmed (which means 1 coat), rather than needing multiple coats. It all depends on how badly damaged the walls are to start with.

How Do You Handle Ventilation And Drying Times, Especially For Interior Plastering?
When plastering a room, we open all the doors and window, allowing for ventilation. This means the plaster can dry quicker, so you can get round to painting it faster. We always advise waiting 5 days after plastering before you begin painting. This is to ensure it has dried out beforehand. Painting on wet plaster is a big no-no.
