FAQs

What plastering services do you offer in Manchester?
We specialize in high-quality plastering services, including solid plastering, rendering, and repairs for residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re renovating, building new, or need patchwork, our expert team ensures a flawless finish.
How long does plastering take, and what’s the process?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. Small repairs may take a few hours, while full home plastering can take several days. Our process includes surface preparation, application of plaster or render, and a smooth, durable finish tailored to your project needs.
How long does it take for plastering to dry?
Generally, it will take around 3-5 days for plastering to dry out however there are a few factors that will affect the drying time of your plaster. The thickness of the plastering will affect the time it takes for the plaster to dry out. If there are any areas that require additional work, for example, if there is a void, a large crack, or a gap which requires filling then a base coat or bonding plaster may be required before skimming. This means that certain areas may be thicker than others and therefore require more time for the plaster to thoroughly dry out. If there has been significant filling it could take as long as two weeks for the plaster to be thoroughly dry and ready for painting and decorating. Another factor that will affect the drying time for your plastering work is the room temperature and ventilation. It can be tempting to turn the heating right up to speed up the drying process but this is not recommended. Excessive heat will cause the plaster to dry too quickly which may result in cracking or hazing. The best condition for allowing your newly plastered walls/ceiling to dry is to provide some ventilation by opening a couple of windows slightly. You can put the heating on, however, we recommend you keep this at a low temperature for a number of days after the plastering is completed. This will help with the drying process whilst avoiding the plaster cracking.

What does a plasterer do?

So how do you know if a plasterer is the right professional for you? A plasterer will be able to provide a smooth surface, whether on walls, ceilings or partitions, for either functional or decorative purposes. A plasterer will also be able to perform the following tasks:

  • Apply coats of plaster: Plastering specialists will apply plaster to interior walls and partitions, using hand tools, portable power tools or a combination of the two.
  • Create decorative textures: Plasterers can create textures and decorative patterns for an ornate finish.
  • Clean and prepare surfaces: Plastering specialists will prepare surfaces for plastering by thoroughly cleaning them and fixing any cracks or chips found. They will also create the mortar mix, ready for application.

Our customers say it best

Clement did a great job of plastering my bedroom. It was a tricky job with lots of intricate angles, but he managed it no problem. He was clean and efficient and did the job in a few hours. Plus he’s a nice chap! Will hire him again for my next plastering job.

– K Khan

The initial meeting was a little hit and miss as not resident in the property, so not a good start. The work carried out was very good, all lines and detail was given attention and a clean tidy conscientious worker. Quotation was what i estimated and wanted to pay. Hence, further work undertaken in the property. Thank you
