The whole purpose of plastering is to achieve a flat, uniform finish to allow for decoration such as paint, tiles or wallpaper. Plastering has many benefits over the installation of drywall. A two coat plaster finish is more durable and will last longer than dry lining. It has a better appearance and is easier to decorate. It is for these reasons that most people prefer the method of traditional plastering to the newer method of dry lining. Take a look at our FAQ section for the most frequently asked questions ! over boarding ![]() ![]() ![]() We can remove your old ceiling completely and install new plasterboard in preparation for plastering. Alternatively, we can overboard directly over your existing ceiling. This method involves less time and mess. It can increase the sound proofing qualities and insulation values of your room and more importantly, provide better safety from fire. If you are looking to change your textured ceiling to a flat surface then over boarding can be ideal for the majority of cases. plastering over artex ![]() ![]() ![]() In most cases it is fine to plaster over artex as it provides a good key for the plaster to adhere to as long as the artex has been properly prepared and treated with a PVA solution. Unfortunately, even if the artex appears solid, sometimes the weight and wetness of new plaster can pull the artex away from the ceiling causing bubbles to appear. For this reason we would always recommend over boarding the artex ceiling prior to plastering as this way we can guarantee the finish and durability. coving and mouldings ![]() ![]() ![]() Interior coving and mouldings were originally designed to highlight the wealth of 17th and 18th century stately home owners. Modern versions are mostly made from plastic or polystyrene but we prefer to use proper plaster coving encased in paper. This is slightly more expensive but longer lasting and easier to decorate. We can supply most types of coving to meet your requirements or match with your existing. decorating ![]() ![]() ![]() From a single freshly plastered ceiling to an entire house we can decorate your property to a high standard. Ceilings, walls, coving, dado rails, skirting boards and cupboards all need to be properly cleaned, prepared and painted. We also install floor and wall tiles in kitchens and bathrooms.
