FAQs
Plastering questions, answered.
- How long before I can decorate?
- Fresh plaster needs to dry fully — typically 5–7 days for a skim, longer for backing coats. We'll confirm exact drying times before we leave.
- Can you patch repair without skimming the whole wall?
- Yes, where the surrounding plaster is sound. We feather edges carefully so the repair is invisible once decorated.
- Do you handle damp walls?
- We remove blown plaster, treat the substrate and re-plaster with appropriate materials — but underlying damp must be resolved first (we can quote that too).
