When you book an Aspect plasterer you can count on getting the professional expertise you’re looking for.
Aspect plasterers will do everything possible to keep your rooms and furniture protected. They’ll help prepare the rooms being plastered before starting work. Electrical sockets, switches and light fittings will be removed by our tradesmen.
Ideally a room being plastered would be clear of all furniture and fittings. Any furniture that has to stay in the room will be protected with plastic sheeting. Floors and carpets will also be covered.
Our experts are all capable of working quickly to leave you with a quality finish. In the process they’ll try to cause as little disruption to your schedule and property as possible.
A newly plastered wall or ceiling needs time to completely dry before it can be decorated. Drying time will depend on the surface the plaster has been applied to as well as the temperature and ventilation in the room.
Typically a skim of plaster applied to plasterboard will take between two to three days to fully dry. When applied to a base, such as bonding, drying time could be as much as a week even in the right drying conditions.
Wait until the skim coat of plaster has changed completely from a dark brown colour to a much lighter pinkish brown before starting to decorate.
Standard water-based emulsion is too thick to paint directly onto a newly plastered wall or ceiling. It won’t adhere properly and will mean you have to redecorate again much sooner.
Decorators apply a ‘mist’ coat to dry plaster, which is a coat of diluted emulsion. The excess water soaks into the plaster helping the paint to stick to the surface. When the mist coat is dry a regular coat of emulsion can be painted on which will bond without any problem.
Ready prepared mist coat emulsion is available to buy, or you can mix your own. A ration of 3 parts emulsion to 2 parts water normally works although this is dependent on the thickness of the emulsion you’re mixing. Just make sure the emulsion you’re mixing is non-vinyl.
Finally, as the paint has been diluted be prepared for a messier decorating experience. Protect furniture, carpets and yourself from splashes!
