Do you charge to quote for plastering?
No. The visit and the written quote are free.
Can you skim over old plaster?
Yes, where the old plaster is still sound. Blown areas are cut out first.
Do you paint as well as plaster?
Yes. Interior painting and decorating can be quoted with the plastering or on its own.
How long before new plaster can be painted?
Plaster must dry fully first. We plan the dates so the paint goes on at the right time.
Do you repair cracks and small holes?
Yes. Patch repairs are a normal part of the work.
Do you deal with damp?
Not as a damp-proofing service. We flag damp so the cause is fixed before plastering.
