Plasterers Bottesford

A lot of home improvement assignments will require some plastering work to be done, even smaller jobs. It may be things like plastering over an old artexed ceiling, plaster repair before tiling, skimming dry lining or installing mouldings or coving before decorating. The fact is, it may possibly be any of a number of plastering related tasks.

The most important thing is to employ a plasterer who knows what they are doing and has got a portfolio of successfully accomplished work that they can show you. You do not want to get stuck with a bunch of "cowboys" bodging your plastering. Although it may not be immediately noticeable, substandard plastering can cause huge problems down the line.

Any defects will become startlingly obvious the moment a bit of emulsion paint starts to be applied to your newly plastered walls and ceilings. In bright sunshine your substandard plastered surfaces will look even worse. By picking only from competent plasterers in Bottesford, you'll avoid this problem.

The most critical thing for plastered surfaces is that they be level and smooth. Negligible cracks and blemishes can be easily repaired with filler afterwards with very few issues, but uneven plastering is hard to disguise. Surfaces that are irregularly plastered can bring about complications with the wallpapering and painting of walls and ceilings, fitting architraves, any area of tiling (bathrooms or kitchens) and the installation of kitchen units.

With plastering it is advisable to get a perfect, polished finish, directly from the trowel, and this is what you can expect from the best Bottesford plasterers. Any specialist plasterer will explain that a properly plastered wall or ceiling shouldn't ever need sanding down to attain a good finish. If the plastering has not been done competently, strenuous sanding may be required, and this calls the plasterers ability into question. If electric sanders are being used you might want to check out the quality of the work thoroughly.

Plastering over artexed ceilings is one of the most common reasons for calling in plasterers nowadays. Hundreds of houses in Bottesford had ceilings that were coated with artex during the 70's and 80's, when it was at its height of popularity. Those old artex ceilings can be made to look sleek and modern once again by bringing in your Bottesford plasterer to cover them up. Those of you who are more retro in taste might wish to have your artex ceilings restored and brought back to their former glory.

Do-it-Yourself Plastering Bottesford: While it is usually better to employ a professional plasterer in Bottesford when you've got plastering work that needs to be carried out in your home, it is always possible to have a bash at plastering yourself if you are fairly good at do-it-yourself, and have the self-confidence to attempt it. Choosing a wall that's already got a poor quality plastered finish is advisable initially, so that your amateurish plastering efforts cannot make it any worse. A spare bedroom or an out-of-sight area would be a good start. This should enable you to relax and get acquainted with the required procedures and should be much less stressful. Within reason, it's quite possible for you to re-skim a wall as many times as you like, therefore if you make a lousy job of it to begin with, you can just re-do it as your abilities get better.

If you don't wish to go to the extreme of signing up for a proper plastering course, you might be able to get some really good tips and advice by watching and following You Tube tutorials, although it isn't always as easy as it's made to look in the videos. Plastering is a "hands on" undertaking and the more you practice the better you get. You might even come up with some of your own strategies for getting a flawless plastered finish, even so the time-tested methods are generally the best. The more you do it the more confident you will get, and when all is said and done - plastering is mainly about confidence. You will be able to start plastering the more important walls of your property when you've perfected the skill to a level you are satisfied with. You've still got the option of calling in a professional Bottesford plasterer to put things right if you mess it up.

Artex

Even though most common in the Seventies and Eighties artex still is an effective way to improve the appearance of ceilings, especially cracked or shabby ones. It's not quite as straightforward to obtain a plasterer who will do artexing these days, whereas a few years ago there were lots of tradesmen who did little else but apply artex and do artex patching. With designs like hook & line, bark, medusa, circles, scroll, pairs, basket, stipple, criss-cross, broken leather or swirl, there seemed to be something for everybody. Whatever your taste was, you would be able to find a style of artex to match. It's obviously still quite possible to get any one of these artex ceiling patterns carried out today, you'll simply have to locate a craftsman (a plasterer and not a handyman) ready to do it. Keep in mind, however, that artex isn't the simplest thing to patch or repair, which is among the reasons why it's appeal declined to begin with.

Screeders Bottesford

Screeding is a procedure through which a level, smooth floor surface is established by using a sand and cement mix. The application of screeding is mostly done on top of an existing concrete sub-floor to encase underfloor heating pipes, to be left as a wearing floor surface or to take on the final floor finish. This will increase the lifespan of a floor and ensure its durability, finish and quality, for many years. Screed is only ever mixed by hand when small areas are involved. For larger areas, a decent screed pump should be used to ensure a smooth and even blend of sand, cement and water, which is then pumped directly to the desired location. Various types of screeds are available including: traditional screed, fast drying screed, free-flowing screed, unbonded screed, bonded screed, floor levelling compound and structural screed.

Polished Plaster Bottesford

Polished plaster is basically the definition applied to modern variants of classic Italian plaster finishes which have been used to great effect over the centuries. The expression covers a wide collection of decorative plaster finishes - from the highly polished Venetian plaster, Lucidato and Marmorino to the textured polished plasters. Polished plaster is largely used on internal ceilings and walls, to give a finish that looks like polished limestone, marble or travertine. Polished plaster has natural variations of shade giving a feeling of depth whilst still smooth to the touch. By the mixing of these various types of plaster compounds it's quite possible to develop unique tailor-made finishes which can be used to good effect. With the use of natural or synthetic colourants polished plaster can take on eye-catching colours or tints. This is especially advantageous when trying to accomplish "marbling" effects or produce colours and designs that don't exist in nature. To find out more regarding polished plaster, take a look at the Wikipedia "polished plaster" page.

Re-Skimming Bottesford

Re-skimming or skimming is a thin finish of plaster applied over the top of old damaged plasterwork, plasterboard or unwanted artex. This is one of the most common jobs that plasterers are asked to tackle. Plenty of home refurbishments involve new plasterboard walls or cause damage to existing plastered surfaces. A specialist will get those imperfect surfaces in perfect condition for papering or painting by the application of a glass-like and smooth finish. After a few days of drying, you'll be able to decorate on top of the new plastered area. You should finish up with a perfectly fault-free and flat surface that will last for years to come.

Renderers Bottesford

The process of applying a mix of cement, sand, lime and water to both interior and exterior walls in order to achieve a textured or smooth surface finish, is known as rendering, and it's a fairly similar technique to plastering. A popular technique across Southern Europe, rendering is particularly prevalent in the Mediterranean area, notably in Spain, Greece and Italy. A rendered surface is mainly used for cosmetic purposes but is also waterproof and has got some useful fire retarding properties. You can get a more durable and long lasting finish by colouring the render mix itself, however it is of course possible to paint a rendered wall. (Tags: Renderers Bottesford, Rendering Bottesford)
