Plastering Ashton-under-Lyme

Even seemingly insignificant home improvement projects can generate the need for plastering work. It could be plaster skimming a partition, plastering over artex, installing cornices or coving before decorating or latex screeding. In actual fact, it could be any of a large number of plastering related tasks.

Ask prospective Ashton-under-Lyme plasterers if they've got a portfolio of successfully completed jobs, the most critical factor is to hire a plasterer who knows what they are up to. You do not want to get landed with a bunch of "cowboys" doing your plastering. It is really difficult to correct substandard plastering after the event, so it needs to be done properly from the get go.

When your freshly plastered wall is given a coat of paint, any imperfections will soon become obvious. This effect will be even more emphasized when the defective surfaces are viewed in bright sunshine. You will avoid such issues by only picking from competent plasterers in Ashton-under-Lyme.

Because plaster is always covered up by other materials it is easy to forget how important it is that it is smooth and flat. A badly plastered surface may cause major complications with the accurate fitting or skirting boards, the tiling of wall surfaces, the installation of kitchen units and the wallpapering and painting of walls and ceilings.

You can always tell the most experienced Ashton-under-Lyme plasterers because they invariably get a polished finish, directly from the trowel. Any professional plasterer will tell you that a properly plastered wall or ceiling should never need sanding down to achieve a nice finish. If the finished plastering needs vigorous sanding, you know that it hasn't been done as it should be. If electric sanders are being used you need to check out the quality of the plastering thoroughly.

Though you might call on the services of a plasterer for many different tasks, one common reason these days is for plastering over artexed ceilings. A widely used form of ceiling finish in Ashton-under-Lyme during the 1970's and 80's, artex is pretty much out of favour right now. Your Ashton-under-Lyme plasterer will gladly cover up those dated artex ceilings and get your home looking sleek and contemporary once again. Those of you who are more retro in taste might wish to have your artex ceilings repaired and brought back to their former glory.

Rendering Ashton-under-Lyme: Rendering is similar in technique to plastering, and is the process where a mix of sand, lime, cement and water is applied to external (and sometimes interior) walls in order to achieve a smooth or textured surface. Rendering is extremely popular all around Europe and is especially prevalent in the Mediterranean countries. A rendered finish is water resistant and has some fire resistant qualities, though it is generally used for cosmetic purposes. While it is of course possible to paint a rendered wall, a better solution is to mix colour into the render itself, giving a more durable, long lasting result.
