Plastering questions homeowners ask
What is the difference between skimming and plastering?
Skimming is a thin 2–3mm finishing coat over existing sound plaster or plasterboard. Plastering (or re-plastering) usually means removing old plaster and applying backing and finish coats to the bare wall.
How long does new plaster take to dry?
A skim coat typically takes 3–7 days, depending on warmth and airflow. Backing coats and full re-plasters can take two weeks or more. Don't force-dry with heaters, as it can cause cracking.
When can I paint fresh plaster?
Once it is evenly light pink with no dark patches. Start with a mist coat — watered-down matt emulsion — so the paint soaks in and bonds. Avoid vinyl silk or wipeable paint as a first coat; it can peel.
Do I need to remove wallpaper before the plasterer comes?
Yes, ideally. Plaster will not bond to wallpaper. Stripping it yourself saves labour cost. Also clear furniture and take down shelves, curtains and pictures.
Can you plaster over artex?
Usually, after scraping high points and applying a bonding coat. Artex applied before 2000 may contain asbestos, so don't sand or scrape heavily without testing — skimming over it is the common approach.
Can I get a quote from photos?
For most small and medium jobs, yes. Clear photos of each wall or ceiling, plus rough room sizes, let a plasterer give a fast quote. Larger or damp-affected jobs may need a quick visit.
