Plasterers Keyworth

There are plenty of home renovation tasks, even smaller ones, which result in some plastering work having to be done. Most likely it'll be skimming a partition, latex screeding, installing coving or cornices before decorating or re-plastering a ceiling. Don't however imagine that the above are the only plastering and rendering tasks which might be needed, because there are certainly a lot more possibilities.

Looking at a portfolio of proficiently accomplished work is a good way to determine the standard of any potential Keyworth plasterers, you must locate somebody who knows exactly what they're up to. For this sort of work, you want to avoid hiring "cowboys", no matter what. It is very hard to resolve poor quality plastering after the event, so it needs to be done right from the get go.

It's when the painting and decorating commences that any defects become blindingly obvious to the naked eye. When viewed in bright daylight, even more imperfections will show up on any defective surfaces. So, make sure you only consider competent plasterers in Keyworth.

The key characteristic of plastered surfaces is that they are flat and smooth, establishing a level base for other materials to be applied over them. Trivial blemishes and cracking can be easily filled and sanded later on with very few issues, but uneven plastering is tricky to cover up. Surfaces that are imperfectly plastered can bring about difficulties with the decorating of walls and ceilings, fitting skirting boards, the fitting of kitchen units and bathroom or kitchen tiling.

With plastering it is preferable to get a polished finish, straight from the trowel, and this is what you can usually be expecting from the most skillful Keyworth plasterers. Any expert plasterer will explain that a correctly plastered ceiling or wall should never need sanding down to achieve a decent finish. If the plastering hasn't been done correctly, strenuous sanding may be needed, and calls the plasterers skills into question. You should check out the quality of the plastering thoroughly, if you see orbital sanders being employed.

One common reason for calling in a plasterer nowadays, is to plaster over an artexed ceiling. A large number of properties in Keyworth had ceilings which were coated with artex during the nineteen seventies and eighties, when it was at its height of popularity. To get all your dated artex ceilings looking fresh and contemporary again, most Keyworth plasterers will be more than happy to plaster over them. If the opposite is the case, then most plasterers will bring that 1970's style back again by applying a coat of artex.

Do-it-Yourself Plastering Keyworth: While it's usually better to use a professional plasterer in Keyworth when you've got plastering work that should be undertaken in your home, it is quite possible to have a bash at doing it yourself if you're fairly good at DIY, and have the self-confidence to attempt it. Practicing on a wall that's already got a poorly plastered finish is recommended to start with, so your amateur plastering endeavours 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 comfortable with the required procedures and will be a lot less nerve-racking. It's possible to re-skim a wall as many times as you wish to a degree, and you can easily have another go if you don't do an acceptable job the first time around.

If you're looking for a few tips and hints to set you on the right path, you could watch a few You Tube tutorials. Or, if you're itching to learn plastering you might even look at signing up for a course at a nearby school or college. Like the majority of "hands on" processes, the more you practice the more adroit you get at plastering. By using trial and error you may even come up with you own solutions for getting a flawless plastered finish. But if you're unsure, stick with the time-tested methods. The more frequently you do it the more confident you'll become, and let's face it - plastering is mostly about confidence. Once you have mastered the art to a level you're happy with, you'll be able to move on to plastering the main walls of your home. You still have the option of bringing in a professional Keyworth plasterer if you mess it up.

Rendering Keyworth

Rendering is a similar technique to plastering, and is the process whereby a mix of cement, sand, lime and water is applied to external (and occasionally internal) walls to obtain a smooth or textured surface. Rendering is a popular method all around Europe and is particularly common in the Mediterranean countries. A rendered surface has some fire resisting qualities and is waterproof, though it's largely employed for cosmetic purposes. There are two ways that colour can be put on to a rendered surface, either you can apply paint once it's properly dry, or the colour can be added to the render mix itself, providing a surface that is much longer lasting and more durable.

Screeders Keyworth

Screeding entails the pouring and spreading of a sand and cement mix, to produce a flat and smooth floor surface. Generally screeding is applied on top of a concrete sub-floor to take on the final floor finish, to be left as a wearing floor surface or to cover underfloor heating pipes. A correctly laid screed can considerably increase the life of the complete floor and establish its finish, durability and quality. The mixing of screed by hand is only suitable for small areas, and preferably a screed pump should be used to rapidly ensure a smooth, even mix of sand and cement and to transport (pump) this fine mix directly to its required location, avoiding the need for paraphernalia like wheelbarrows and such like. Among the various sorts of floor screed are: structural screed, traditional screed, floor levelling compound, free-flowing screed, bonded screed, unbonded screed and fast drying screed.
