Frequently Asked Questions about Plastering
How long does plaster take to dry?
Standard plaster takes 2-3 days to dry per coat, depending on room temperature and ventilation. We will advise when it is safe to paint or paper.
Can you plaster over artex?
Yes. We can either skim directly over artex if it is sound, or board over it first for a guaranteed flat surface. We also remove artex entirely if required.
What is the difference between skimming and plastering?
Skimming is a thin finishing coat (2-3mm) applied over existing plaster or plasterboard. Full plastering includes backing coats and is used on bare brick or blockwork.
Do I need to remove old plaster before re-plastering?
Not always. If the existing plaster is sound, well-bonded, and not blown, we can skim over it. We will assess this during your quote.
How much does plastering cost?
Prices vary by room size and condition. A standard room skim typically starts from £300-£400. We provide fixed-price quotes with no surprises.
Can you plaster ceilings?
Yes. Ceiling plastering is one of our most requested services. We can repair, re-skim, or board and skim ceilings of any size.
Do you use lime plaster for older properties?
Yes. For pre-1919 properties and listed buildings, we use traditional lime plaster to maintain breathability and comply with conservation requirements.
What areas do you cover for plastering?
We plaster properties across Lincoln, North Hykeham, Sleaford, Gainsborough, Boston, Grantham, and all surrounding Lincolnshire areas.
