Q: How much will it cost to plaster my room?

How much will it cost to plaster my room? The cost of plastering really depends on exactly what needs to be done, the size of the room and any added complexity, such as access. Having recently moved here, we needed to find professional plasterers for our renovated restaurant. For example, a simple plastering repair for just one wall or area of a room is likely to cost considerably less than plastering a whole room. If a room needs to be plasterboarded before skimming, this is going to cost far more than purely skimming a wall because there are more materials required, and it will also take longer to complete. It is possible to give an estimate by phone if you are able to provide the room dimensions, however, to provide a quotation to complete the plastering work, we will need to come and take a look at what’s required, check the condition of the area to be plastered and take our own measurements.

Q: How long does it take for plastering to dry?

How long does it take for plastering to dry? Generally, it will take around 3-5 days for plastering to dry out however, there are a few factors that will affect the drying time of your plaster. The thickness of the plastering will affect the time it takes for the plaster to dry out. If there are any areas that require additional work, for example, if there is a void, a large crack, or a gap that requires filling, then a base coat or bonding plaster may be required before skimming. This means that certain areas may be thicker than others and therefore require more time for the plaster to thoroughly dry out. If there has been significant filling, it could take as long as two weeks for the plaster to be thoroughly dry and ready for painting and decorating. Another factor that will affect the drying time for your plastering work is the room temperature and ventilation. It can be tempting to turn the heating right up to speed up the drying process but this is not recommended. Excessive heat will cause the plaster to dry too quickly, which may result in cracking or hazing. The best condition for allowing your newly plastered walls/ceiling to dry is to provide some ventilation by opening a couple of windows slightly. You can put the heating on, however, we recommend you keep this at a low temperature for a number of days after the plastering is completed. This will help with the drying process whilst avoiding plaster cracking.

Q: How can I tell if my plaster is dry?

How can I tell if my plaster is dry? When your plastering is first completed, it will be rich brown in colour because the plaster will be fresh and full of moisture. As the plaster dries out, it will become patchy, a mixture of brown and pink. Once dry, the plaster will be pale pink in colour and all of the brown patches will have disappeared. Certain areas of the plastering may take longer than others to dry out, for example, corners, areas where the plaster may have been applied more thickly, and areas that have had to have an additional filling. Your plastering is completely dry once all brown patches have dried out and the surface is a consistent pale pink colour.

Q: Can you plaster with no experience?

Can you plaster with no experience? Having recently moved here, we needed to find professional plasterers for our renovated restaurant. It is a skill, and it takes practice, care, precision and a lot of experience to get it 100% right. That is, however, not to say you can't DIY plastering. Of course, you can , but you should know it's going to take some time to get used to learning the process and getting to know what you're doing. Our professional plasterers take pride in both commercial and domestic areas, ensuring your solid plaster surface is strong, stable and will last the test of time.

Will the plastering dry more quickly if I put the central heating on high?

Will the plastering dry more quickly if I put the central heating on high?

Please do not turn the heating on full blast to try and accelerate the drying process of your plastering. It is also not a good idea to bring in additional heaters or dehumidifiers in an attempt to dry the plaster out quickly. Unfortunately, it’s just a matter of being patient and allowing the plaster to dry out at its own speed. Open a couple of windows slightly to provide light ventilation. You can also put the heating on but only at a low temperature. If you try and rush the process with excessive heat you’ll ruin the results and the finish of your newly plastered surface. When the plaster dries out too rapidly, it causes cracks or haze cracking.
