Frequently asked
Plastering — your questions answered
How long before I can paint?+
Allow 5–7 days for fresh plaster to dry fully, then a mist coat (watered-down emulsion) before topcoats.
Can you patch-match an existing ceiling?+
Yes — we feather-edge patch repairs so they're invisible under paint.
Do you do external plastering?+
That's rendering — see our rendering service.
