Plasterers Nelson

Many home renovation assignments will require some plastering work to be done, even smaller jobs. It could be skimming some dry lining, screeding, plastering over artex or installing cornices or coving before decorating. Do not however imagine that the above are the only plastering, rendering and screeding tasks which may be required, since there are a lot more possibilities.

Before any work begins you should check out prospective Nelson plasterers to see if they really know their trade. Ask if you can examine some images or a portfolio of finished projects. You want to avoid using "cowboys" for this type of work, no matter what. You'll quickly come to realise the many complications that can occur as a result of inferior plastering.

When your newly plastered wall is given a splash of emulsion, any defects will quickly become obvious. When viewed in bright sunshine, even more imperfections will become apparent on any uneven surfaces. To avoid issues like this, pick only from decent plasterers in Nelson.

Because plastering is generally concealed with other materials you can easily forget just how important it is that it is smooth and level. It is quite easy to fill and sand down any little imperfections and cracking, but it is hard to disguise fundamentally irregular plastering. Areas that are unevenly plastered can lead to issues with the installation of kitchen units, the fitting of skirtings, the painting and decorating of the surfaces and kitchen or bathroom tiling.

Skilled Nelson plasterers have reputations to maintain and will invariably seek to get the perfect finish straight from the trowel, wherever feasible. Sanding (especially by machine) should never be necessary on freshly plastered walls and ceilings, a brief rub down with fine glasspaper is the most that ought to be required. You can assume that the plastering has not been done correctly if vigorous sanding is called for. The alarm bells should certainly start ringing if orbital sanders are being used with any regularity.

Plastering over artexed ceilings is one of the most common reasons for contacting plasterers these days. Currently somewhat out of favour in Nelson, artex was the most fashionable decorative finish for ceilings during the 1970's and 80's. Those dated artex ceilings can be made to look sleek and modern once again by bringing in your Nelson plasterer to cover them up. On the other hand, most plasterers will also apply artex to your ceiling if you want to bring back that 1970's style.

DIY Plastering Nelson: While it is always preferable to use a competent plasterer in Nelson when you have plastering work that needs to be carried out in your home, it is quite possible to have a go at plastering yourself if you are really good at do-it-yourself, and have the self-confidence to tackle it. Choosing an area that already has a poorly plastered finish is a great idea for starters, so that your amateurish plastering amateurish efforts can only improve things. A spare bedroom or an out-of-sight area would be a good place to begin. This should allow you to relax and get familiar with the required processes and will be a lot less nerve-racking. To a certain extent, it's possible for you to re-skim a wall as many times as you like, consequently if you make a lousy job of it to start with, you can simply re-do it as your skills get better.

If you do not wish to go to the extreme length of taking a plastering course, you may be able to get some really good tips by watching and following YouTube tutorials, although of course it is not always quite so simple as it's made to look in those videos. Like most "hands on" undertakings, the more you practice the more skillful you get at plastering. Through experimentation you might even think up you own techniques for getting a flawless plastered finish. But if in doubt, stick to the tried and tested methods. The more often you do it the more confident you'll get, and when the chips are down - plastering is mostly about confidence. You can tackle some more challenging plastering projects when you have mastered this skill to a good standard. If you do make a mess of it, you've still got the option of contacting a reputable Nelson plasterer to skim over your mistakes.

Plasterboarding Nelson (Dry Lining)

Dry lining (plasterboarding) is often needed in home refurbishment projects, and there are some plasterers in Nelson who provide this particular service. By mounting plasterboard onto a wood studding, a brick or masonry surface or Gypframe metal framing, a surface is produced which doesn't need to be plastered. While it is possible to paint or decorate the plasterboard surface itself, usually most opt to have the plasterboard skimmed with a thin plaster coating afterwards to give it that extra special, smooth finish. In regards to fittings, when fixing to a metal Gypframe self-drilling, self tapping (Jack-Point screws) are used, when fixing plasterboard to wooden studding or joists, drywall screws or nails are used and when fixing to a masonry or brick wall "dot and dab" bonding compound is used.

Tools for Plastering

Most do-it-yourself and tradespeople's tool boxes do not include a lot of the specialist tools that are essential for plastering, which is why it's most often best to seek the assistance of a skilled plasterer in Nelson, when you've got this kind of work in the offing. Here are merely some of the tools that an experienced Nelson plasterer will use on the job:

• Plaster Mixing Paddle
• Edging Trowel
• Scarifier
• Plaster Pan & Buckets
• Plasterboard Carrier
• Plasterer's Trowel
• Taping & Jointing Knives
• Plastering Rule
• Finishing Trowel

Artex

Particularly popular during the 1970's and 1980's, artex has long been an effective way to add an ornamental finish to a plain ceiling, as well as to cover over cracks and uneven surfaces. In the past, there were so many tradespeople carrying out artexing that it was pretty easy to locate somebody providing this type of service in Nelson. Nowadays however, tracking down a plasterer who is prepared to do artexing is not quite so straightforward. No doubt the vast array of designs and styles was the thing that made it so popular, and everybody seemed to have their particular favourite, be it criss-cross, stippled, pairs, basket, hook & line, circle, scroll, broken leather, medusa, swirl or bark. There was an artex pattern that was suitable, no matter what your tastes. You can obviously still get ceilings done in any of these artex styles nowadays, just search for a plasterer in Nelson who constantly carries out this type of work, and not one who'll merely "have a bash", in this manner you can be sure that you will get a good job done of it. The main disadvantage of artex, and what probably led to its demise, is that it is hard to patch or repair.

Skimming

A thin layer of plaster applied on top of unwanted artex, new plasterboard or damaged plasterwork is called skimming or re-skimming. Of all the jobs that plasterers are asked to carry out, this is among the most common. A lot of home remodelling projects call for new plasterboard walls or inflict damage on existing plaster surfaces. An expert will make those flawed surfaces in perfect condition for papering or painting by the application of a smooth, glass-like finish. You need to leave this for several days to dry thoroughly before you can decorate on top of it. You will end up getting a totally flat and fault-free surface which will endure for years.

Plaster

Employed for decorating and protecting the ceilings and walls of buildings, plaster is a material which has been used since the times of the Egyptians. What we call "plaster" in the UK is usually understood to be the material that's used for coating the interior rooms of houses and buildings, whilst that which is used on outside walls is referred to as "render" or "rendering". The plaster mix itself may contain different ingredients but most commonly consist of either cement, gypsum, or lime. All these mixtures pretty much work in the same way, but have got different uses. Plaster is is produced in powdered form and when required, is combined with water to form a stiff, easily workable paste immediately prior to application. The reactions between the plaster powder and water produces heat through crystallization and the mix consequently sets and hardens.

Pebble Dashing

A technique which is frequently used to protect and embellish the exterior walls of properties, pebble dash (or roughcast) isn't everybody's cup of tea in Nelson. Nelson plasterers will usually carry out this type of task for you, though there are pebbledashing specialists working in the area. Perfect for both new and renovated homes, pebble dashing usually consists of two layers of a base made of sand and lime onto which small gravel, pebbles or shells are firmly pressed to create a robust, maintenance free and decorative finish.
