Plasterers Sutton-in-Ashfield

Even smaller home renovation jobs may require some plastering work to be done. It might be the likes of plastering over artex, installing mouldings or coving before decorating, screeding or skimming some dry lining. Don't however imagine that those are the only plastering, screeding and rendering tasks that might be needed, since there are certainly a lot more possibilities.

Before any work starts you should check out potential Sutton-in-Ashfield plasterers to make sure that they really know their trade. Ask if you can see some pictures or a portfolio of completed work. For this type of work, you want to avoid hiring "cowboys", at all costs. You may encounter huge problems later on if the quality of the plastering is sloppy, and these aren't often immediately obvious.

It's when the painting and decorating commences that any imperfections become glaringly obvious. Even more so, with the sunlight shining on the freshly plastered surfaces. There are plenty of good plasterers in Sutton-in-Ashfield, so make sure you track down an experienced one.

The most vital thing for plastered surfaces is that they're smooth and level. Negligible cracking and imperfections can be easily repaired later with few issues, but irregular plastering is hard to disguise. Problems with kitchen or bathroom tiling, the accurate fitting of architraves, the decorating of ceilings and walls and the fitting of kitchen units, can be caused by a badly plastered area.

A polished finish, directly from the trowel is what you should expect from competent Sutton-in-Ashfield plasterers. Walls and ceilings that have been plastered by an expert, should never need sanding down. If the plastering has not been done properly, vigorous sanding may be required, and this calls the plasterers skills into question. If orbital sanders are being used you need to check the standard of the work meticulously.

One of the most requested tasks for plasterers nowadays, is plastering over old artex ceilings.

To get all your artex ceilings looking sleek and contemporary again, most Sutton-in-Ashfield plasterers will be happy to plaster over them. If you're more retro in your taste, you might want to give your currently smooth ceilings a little character by actually putting on some artex.

Doing a test run on a spare bedroom or an out of sight area is definitely advisable when you're setting out on your initial plastering journey. Whenever possible try to pick an area that already has an inaccurately plastered surface, so that your amateur efforts cannot make it any worse. This will allow you to try out your newly acquired skills and should be less stressful than taking on a wall that everybody will regularly see.

Plasterboarding (Dry Lining) Sutton-in-Ashfield

Dry lining (plasterboarding) is quite often required in home improvement projects, and there are lots of plasterers in Sutton-in-Ashfield who are able to deliver this particular service. A procedure which produces an acceptable wall surface which doesn't need plastering, plasterboard is mounted on a brickwork or masonry surface, a metal frame or a wood studding. Although in a few instances the plasterboard itself may be decorated (with some preparation), an extremely fine, durable surface is created by applying a final skim of finishing plaster. In terms of fittings, when attaching to a masonry or brick wall the "dot and dab" method is used, when fixing plasterboard to wooden stud or joists, nails or drywall screws are used and when fixing to a metal frame self-tapping (or Jack-Point screws) are used.

Artexing

Particularly popular through the 1970's and 80's, artex has long been an ideal way to add a decorative finish to a ceiling, as well as to hide uneven surfaces and cracks. Back in the day, there were so many tradesmen doing artexing it was fairly easy to locate somebody providing this service in Sutton-in-Ashfield. These days however, finding a plasterer who does artexing isn't quite so simple. With styles and designs like criss-cross, stipple, hook & line, scroll, bark, medusa, broken leather, basket & flowers, pairs, swirl or circle, there was something for everybody. There was an artex pattern to suit, no matter what your taste. It's obviously still quite possible to get any one of these artex ceiling designs done today, you will simply have to locate a craftsman (a plasterer rather than a handyman) ready to tackle it. The main snag with artex, and what probably brought about its drop in popularity, is it's difficult to repair or patch.

Rendering Sutton-in-Ashfield

Rendering is the process where a mixture of sand, cement, lime and water is applied to walls (both interior and exterior), in order to achieve a textured or smooth surface finish, with a technique that is pretty similar to plastering. Rendering is quite popular all over Europe and is particularly widespread in the Mediterranean region. A rendered finish is mostly employed for cosmetic reasons but is also waterproof and has some useful fire retarding properties. You can get a more durable and long lasting surface finish by adding colour to the render itself, even though it is quite possible to paint a rendered surface.

Polished Plaster Sutton-in-Ashfield

Polished plaster is a typical term for the finish of certain plasters and for the description of modern kinds of old fashioned Italian plasterered finishes. The phrase describes a whole choice of ornamental plaster finishes - from the highly polished Venetian plaster, Marmorino and Lucidato to the textured polished plasters. Implemented generally on interior walls and ceilings, polished plaster is supposed to deliver a surface finish that appears to be polished limestone, travertine or marble. Polished plaster offers natural variations of shade delivering a feeling of depth whilst still smooth when touched. Distinct tailor-made finishes can be created by mixing up these different kinds of plasters. Polished plaster can be tinted or coloured by using natural or synthetic colourants. Should you need to achieve "marbling" effects in your Venetian plaster, or unique colours or designs that do not exist in nature, the option to add tinting to Venetian plaster is especially valuable.

Screeders Sutton-in-Ashfield

A number of plasterers in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire can also provide a floor screeding service, by which a new level floor surface is formed by the use of a cement mix. Screeding is generally applied on top of a concrete sub-floor to encase underfloor heating pipes, to be used as a finished hardwearing floor surface or to receive an appropriate floor finish (such as floor boards, carpet, vinyl or tiles). This can significantly lengthen the lifespan of a floor and assure its quality, finish and durability, for many years. An effective screed pump should be employed to swiftly ensure an even, smooth mix of cement and sand and to transport (pump) this fine mix straight to where its needed, avoiding the need for paraphernalia like wheelbarrows and such. The mixing of screed by hand must only be used where smaller areas are involved.

Pebble Dashing

Though it is not everyone's cup of tea pebbledashing has been around for many years and used to protect and decorate the outside walls of properties in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. Sutton-in-Ashfield plasterers will often do this type of project for you, though there are pebble dash specialists working in the area. Pebble dash generally consists of a couple of layers of a base made of sand and lime into which small gravel, pebbles or shells are pressed to give both refurbished and new buildings a robust, attractive and maintenance free surface finish.

Acoustic Plastering

To improve sound insulation and decrease noise transmission within rooms, plastering contractors in Sutton-in-Ashfield provide a specialist service called acoustic plastering. Involvement in the process includes the use of a specially formulated plaster that contains sound-absorbing additives or fibres. Acoustic plaster has the ability to control echo and reverberation, resulting in the creation of an environment that is more acoustically balanced. The use of this application is prevalent in spaces like theatres, conference rooms, classrooms or recording studios, where noise control is of utmost importance. The special properties of acoustic plaster make it an effective solution for enhancing sound quality and creating a more comfortable and quieter atmosphere in any given space.

Beyond its technical prowess, acoustic plastering brings forth a visual subtlety that complements its auditory finesse. Acoustic plaster seamlessly blends into the existing interior design, a contrast from conventional sound-absorbing materials that often catch the eye due to their looks. Enhancing its acoustic properties in a subtle manner, the space's visual integrity remains intact through the application of different colours and textures for finishing. (41206)
