Plasterer Wedmore

Some plastering work is often needed, even on modest home remodeling projects. It may be things such as re-plastering a ceiling, fitting mouldings or coving before decorating, applying some screeding or plaster skimming dry lining. Actually, it might possibly be any of a large number of plastering related tasks.

Studying a portfolio of proficiently accomplished projects is a great way to determine the quality of any potential Wedmore plasterers, you have to find someone who knows exactly what they're doing. You want to avoid hiring "cowboys" for this sort of work, no matter what. Even substandard plastering can sometimes look passable at first glance, but as work progresses, the complications start.

When your freshly plastered wall is given a splash of paint, any defects will quickly become obvious. Such imperfections will be even more highlighted when viewed in bright sunlight. When you have the choice between competent plasterers in Wedmore and bad ones, always use a decent one.

Being merely a base onto which other materials are applied, is the reason why plastered surfaces must be level and smooth above all else. Slight dents and cracks can be filled and sanded afterwards with few issues, but uneven plastering is tricky to cover up. Problems with the painting of ceilings and walls, the fitting of kitchen units, fitting skirting boards and kitchen or bathroom tiling, can be caused by an irregularly plastered area.

A perfect finish, straight from the trowel is what you can anticipate from the finest Wedmore plasterers. Ceilings and walls which have been plastered by an expert, shouldn't ever need sanding down. You might reasonably anticipate some areas that need a bit of work with sandpaper, but not to any great extent. Be very wary of re-hiring plasterers who make regular use of electric sanders.

Plasterers perform many tasks but among the most commonplace these days, is plastering over old artex ceilings. Today somewhat out of favour in Wedmore, artex was the most widely used decorative finish for ceilings during the 70's and 80's. Covering that old artex ceiling with plaster is something that most Wedmore plasterers will gladly do so as to make it look more fresh and modern. If you are more retro in your taste, you may want to give your currently smooth ceilings some character by actually putting on artex.

What is Plaster?
