Plastering and skimming in Horncastle: the basics

What the job involves

Plasterers skim walls and ceilings smooth, board and skim new stud walls, repair blown or cracked plaster, remove or cover textured ceilings and render outside walls. New plaster needs to dry fully before painting, usually a week or more.

Safety and good to know

Textured ceilings in homes built before about 2000 can contain asbestos; don't sand or scrape them yourself, and ask the plasterer how they would deal with them. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.

Questions

About plastering and skimming in Horncastle

Can a plasterer cover an Artex ceiling?

Often yes, by skimming over it after a bonding coat, provided it is sound. If it is old, it may contain asbestos, so it must not be sanded or scraped; a plasterer will advise or suggest a test first.
