Plasterer Newton Ferrers

Quite a few home remodeling assignments will require some plastering work to be done, even smaller jobs. It will probably be stuff like fitting coving or mouldings before decorating, plastering over an old artexed ceiling, plaster skimming a partition or plaster repair before tiling. Do not however imagine that the above are the only plastering and screeding jobs which might be needed, since there are lot's more possibilities.

The most important thing is to hire a plasterer who knows what they're doing and has a portfolio of proficiently completed jobs that they're prepared to let you see. You definitely want to avoid employing a "cowboy" for this kind of project. Untrained plasterers result in poor quality plastering and as work progresses this can result in huge complications.

It's easy to notice any defects once a coat or two of emulsion has gone on the newly plastered wall. Your newly plastered surfaces will look even worse with the sun shining on them. By selecting only from experienced plasterers in Newton Ferrers, you can avoid this problem.

You should bear in mind that the plastering is the base on which other materials are applied, so it has to be level and smooth. Uneven plastering is tricky to conceal, although negligible cracks and imperfections can be easily filled and sanded later without too much trouble. Difficulties with any area of tiling, the accurate fitting of architraves, the wallpapering and painting of ceilings and walls and the fitting of kitchen units, can result from a shoddily plastered surface.

The main service that you should be expecting from experienced Newton Ferrers plasterers is a polished finish, directly from the trowel. It shouldn't ever be necessary to use power sanding machines on newly plastered ceilings and walls, just a brief rub with a very fine sandpaper before redecorating. You can safely assume that the plastering hasn't been carried out properly if vigorous sanding is necessary. If you see the orbital sanders coming out you ought to be extremely wary.

In recent times, a common reason to call in a plasterer is to cover an old artex ceiling. Many houses in Newton Ferrers had ceilings which were coated with artex during the 1970's and 80's, when it was the height of fashion. Most plasterers in Newton Ferrers will be happy to plaster over that old artex ceiling, making it look more fresh and modern. Those of you who are more retro in taste might wish to have your artex ceilings repaired and brought back to their former glory.

DIY Plastering Newton Ferrers: Although when you've got plastering work that needs to be carried out in your home in Newton Ferrers, it's preferable to hire an experienced plasterer to handle it, it's still quite possible to have a shot yourself, if you have self-belief and are accomplished at DIY. As a newbie plasterer it is a wise idea to begin your plastering journey by perhaps doing a test run on a spare bedroom or an out of sight area, especially one that already has a poor plastered finish and that can hardly be made worse by your early efforts. This should allow you to relax and get comfortable with the required techniques and will be a lot less stressful. You'll most likely make rather a mess of plastering on the first attempt, but it's possible to skim a wall surface as many times as you like.

If you don't wish to go to the lengths of signing up for a plastering course, you may be able to get some really good tips and hints by watching and studying You Tube tutorials, although of course it isn't always as easy as the experts make it look in the videos. Plastering is a "hands on" activity and the more you practice the more adroit you get. By using trial and error you could even develop you own strategies for getting that perfect finish. But if in any doubt, follow the tried and true methods. The more often you do it the more confident you'll get, and in the final analysis - plastering is mainly about confidence. You will be able to start plastering the more important walls of your home when you have mastered the skill to a level you're satisfied with. If you do make a mess of it, you still have the option of hiring an experienced Newton Ferrers plasterer to put it all right.

Polished Plastering Newton Ferrers

Polished Plaster Newton Ferrers: Polished plaster is a regular term for the finish of some plasters and for the classification of modern styles of traditional Italian plasterered finishes. The phrase "Polished Plaster" is basically used to cover a wide range of high quality plaster finishes, from rugged looking textured plasters to really highly polished Marmorino, Venetian and Lucidato plasters. Presenting a finish that looks much like limestone, marble or travertine, polished plaster is mostly used on inside ceilings and walls. Polished plaster has natural shade variations giving a feeling of depth whilst still being smooth to the touch. Distinct tailor-made finishes can be created by mixing up these various forms of plasters. Through the use of man made or natural colourants, beautiful tints or colours can be given to the plaster finish. Should you want to achieve a "marbled" effect in your polished plaster, or unique colours or designs that don't exist in nature, the capability to add tinting to Venetian plaster is especially valuable.

Decorative Plastering Newton Ferrers

Decorative Plastering Newton Ferrers: Plastering is certainly not a modern day technique and was being accomplished by the ancient Romans, Greeks and Egyptians thousands of years ago. In those days, mixtures of clay and mud would have been applied. A form of plaster was applied to the interior walls of houses and buildings in 13th century London to help stop fires from spreading. During the Victorian and Georgian eras big advances occurred to make highly decorative mouldings and features from gypsum, as you'll observe if you go to visit structures of this period. Awesome decorative effects by the use of age-old techniques and modern materials can be created by specialist plasterers today. This calls for the use of coving, niches, dentils, corbels, cornice finishes, brackets and ceiling roses.

Artex

While most common through the Seventies and Eighties artex continues to be an effective way to improve the look of ceilings, especially shabby or cracked ones. Back in the day, there were so many tradespeople doing artexing that it was simple to find somebody providing this kind of service in Newton Ferrers. Nowadays however, tracking down a plasterer who is prepared to tackle artexing isn't quite as simple. The thing that helped its popularity was the wide array of styles and designs that it was applied in, and it seemed that everybody had their favourite, perhaps it might have been stipple, circle, bark, hook & line, broken leather, medusa, basket weave, scroll, swirl, pairs or criss-cross. Artex patterns were available to match any personal preference or taste. All of these artex styles can still be done today if you're able to find a local artexer or plumber prepared to do it. Stay away from handyman types who will just "have a bash". Bear in mind, however, that artex is not the simplest thing to repair or patch, which is among the reasons why it's attraction diminished to begin with.

Plasterboarding Newton Ferrers (Dry Lining)

There are loads of home renovation assignments that will require dry lining (plasterboarding) to be undertaken, and a number of Newton Ferrers plasterers will be willing to tackle this for you. An approach which creates an acceptable wall surface which does not have to be plastered, dry lining can be affixed to a brickwork surface, Gypframe metal framing or a timber studding. Occasionally the plasterboard itself is decorated, although mainly it will be skimmed with a fine layer of finishing plaster, which can be painted or papered without filling. With regards to fittings, when attaching to a brick or masonry wall "dot and dab" bonding compound is used, when attaching to a metal frame Jack-Point self drilling, self tapping screws are used and when attaching plasterboard to wood joists or studding, nails or drywall screws are used.

Renderers Newton Ferrers

Rendering is a similar technique to plastering, and is the process whereby a mixture of cement, sand, lime and water is applied to exterior (and occasionally interior) walls in order to achieve a textured or smooth surface. Rendering is very popular all around Europe and is especially prevalent in the Mediterranean countries. A rendered finish is water resistant and has some fire resistant qualities, although it is predominately used for aesthetic purposes. While it is of course possible to paint a rendered surface, a better solution is to colour the render itself, giving a more durable, long lasting end result.

Screeding

Screeding Newton Ferrers: Screeding is a procedure through which a level, smooth floor surface is formed using a cement mix. Usually screeding will be applied on top of a concrete sub-floor to be left as a wearing floor surface, to be covered with an appropriate floor finish (such as carpet, tiles or floor boards) or to encase underfloor heating pipes. This will lengthen the lifespan of the whole floor and assure its finish, durability and quality, for years to come. A good quality screed pump must be employed to speedily produce an even, smooth mix of sand, cement and water and to pump this fine mix directly to where its needed, avoiding the use of paraphernalia like wheelbarrows and such. Hand mixing screed should only be used where small areas are involved.

Pebble Dash

A technique that is often used to enhance and protect the exterior walls of dwellings, pebbledash is not a favourite with everyone in Newton Ferrers. There are pebbledashing specialists around, but quite often Newton Ferrers plasterers will do this type of work for you.

Ideal for both refurbished and new properties, pebble dash typically consists of 2 layers of a base coat made of sand and lime into which small pebbles or gravel are pressed to form a decorative, robust and maintenance free finish.
