Plasterers Nairn

There are not that many home improvement assignments that don't require at least a little plastering. Normally it'll be applying some screeding, skimming a partition, plastering over artex or installing coving or cornices before decorating. Nevertheless, any one of an array of plastering related tasks might be needed.

There are several means by which to determine if prospective Nairn plasterers really know their stuff, one good approach is to ask for a portfolio of past jobs. Without exceptions, you want to avoid hiring "cowboys" for work like this. Significant complications can result from poor quality plastering, as you'll quickly come to realise.

You will soon notice any imperfections as soon as a coat or two of emulsion has gone onto the freshly plastered wall. When viewed in bright daylight, even more imperfections will become apparent on any uneven surfaces. When you have the choice between experienced plasterers in Nairn and poor ones, always use a decent one.

Being merely a base onto which other materials are applied, is the reason why plastered surfaces should be smooth and flat above everything else. Uneven plastering is tricky to conceal, although negligible cracking and blemishes can easily be repaired later without much problem. A badly plastered area could cause serious difficulties with the painting and wallpapering of ceilings and walls, the installation of kitchen units, kitchen or bathroom tiling and the accurate fitting or skirting boards.

Competent Nairn plasterers will get a perfect finish straight from the trowel. Walls and ceilings that have been plastered by a professional, shouldn't ever need sanding down. In fact, if any substantial amount of sanding is required, you can consider that your plasterer was not as skilled as was claimed. If the use of electric sanding machines is becoming commonplace, there's certainly something is amiss with your plasterer.

Plasterers perform many tasks but among the most common in recent times, is plastering over artex ceilings. The "in" finish for ceilings during the nineteen seventies and eighties, artex is not so fashionable in Nairn at present. Those old artexed ceilings can be made to look fresh and contemporary once again by calling in your Nairn plasterer to cover them up. It could be that you actually like artex and may want your smooth ceilings transformed by applying this material. Most Nairn plasterers will be just as glad do this for you.

Do-it-Yourself Plastering Nairn: Although when you have plastering work that needs to be carried out in your home in Nairn, it is much better to employ a reputable plasterer to do the project, it is quite possible to have a crack yourself, if you have self-belief and are good at DIY. Picking a wall that's already got an inaccurately plastered finish is a great idea initially, so your amateur plastering early efforts are unlikely to make it any worse. An out-of-sight area or a spare bedroom would be an ideal place to begin. This should enable you to relax and get acquainted with the required procedures and will be significantly less nerve-racking. It's possible to re-plaster a wall surface as many times as you like to a certain degree, and you can very easily re-do it if you don't do a decent job the first time around.

If you don't wish to go to the extreme of signing up for a plastering course, you will be able to get some really good tips by watching and following YouTube tutorials, although of course it's not always as simple as the experts make it look in the videos. Like the majority of "hands on" undertakings, the more you practice the more skilled you become at plastering. Through trial and error you could even come up with you own strategies for getting a flawless finish. But if you're in any doubt, keep to the time-tested procedures. Confidence is the most vital factor with plastering, and the more you do it, the more confident you're apt to get. When you have perfected this skill to a standard you are happy with, you can progress to plastering the other walls of your home. If you bodge it up, you've still got the option of bringing in a competent Nairn plasterer to skim over your mistakes.

Artex Nairn

Particularly popular through the 1970's and 1980's, artex has long been an excellent way to add a decorative finish to a ceiling, as well as to cover up uneven surfaces and cracks. It isn't quite so easy to track down a plasterer that will deal with artexing these days, whereby in the good old days there were tons of tradespeople who did nothing but apply artex and do artex patching. What helped its attractiveness was probably the broad range of designs and styles it was applied in, and it seemed to be the case that everybody had their favourite style, perhaps it was swirl, broken leather, circle, stipple, scroll, bark, hook & line, pairs, medusa, criss-cross or basket. There was an artex pattern that was suitable, irrespective of your taste. You can obviously still have all these artex styles today, just track down a local Nairn plasterer who continually performs this type of work, and not one which will simply "give it a go", in this manner you can be sure that you're going to get a good job made of it. The only hitch with artex, and what probably triggered its drop in popularity, is it is very difficult to patch or repair.

Decorative Plastering Services

Plastering has been employed for both functional and decorative objectives ever since the days of the ancient Greek builders. The ingredients used would obviously have been different in those long past days, when combinations of both clay and mud were employed. A form of plaster was spread on the interior walls of shops and houses in 13th century London to help restrict fires from spreading. Buildings of the Victorian and Georgian eras were extensively embellished with features and mouldings made from plaster. Gifted plasterers today are capable of producing awesome effects by combining modern materials with age-old methods. This might include the use of cornice finishes, ceiling roses, corbels, niches, coving, brackets and dentils.

Dry Lining Nairn (Plasterboarding)

A number of plasterers in Nairn also provide dry lining services (plasterboarding), which are needed in plenty of home improvement projects. By fixing plasterboard to a wooden studding or joist, a brickwork surface or Gypframe metal framing, an acceptable wall surface is produced that does not have to be plastered. Although in certain cases the plasterboard itself can be decorated (with a little extra preparation), an extremely fine, durable surface is created by applying one last skim of finishing plaster. As for fittings, when fixing to a masonry or brick wall "dot and dab" adhesive is used, when fixing plasterboard to wooden joists or studding, nails or drywall screws are used and when attaching to a metal frame self-drilling, self tapping (Jack-Point screws) are used.

Acoustic Plastering Nairn

Sound insulation and noise reduction within rooms can be improved through a specialised service offered by some plastering companies in Nairn known as acoustic plastering. A special plaster containing sound-absorbing fibres or additives is used during the application. The control of echo and reverberation, leading to a more acoustically balanced environment, can be achieved through the use of acoustic plaster. It finds widespread application in spaces where noise control is crucial, such as recording studios, classrooms, conference rooms or theatres. The special properties of acoustic plaster enable it to be an effective solution in enhancing sound quality and creating a more comfortable and quieter atmosphere in any space.

Acoustic plastering goes beyond technical excellence, revealing a visual subtlety that enhances its auditory finesse. Standing in contrast to conventional sound-absorbing materials, which frequently catch attention with their looks, acoustic plaster seamlessly incorporates itself within the current interior design. While subtly enhancing its acoustic qualities, the visual integrity of the space can be upheld by using a variety of textures and colours for the finish. (41206)
