Plasterer Worstead

Plastering work has to be carried out on an array of home remodeling tasks, even modest ones. Generally it'll be plaster skimming a dry lined partition, re-plastering a ceiling, installing cornices or coving before decorating or plaster repair prior to tiling. However, any one of a number of plastering related tasks might be required.

Before work begins you should check out prospective Worstead plasterers to make sure that they know their trade. Ask to see some photos or a portfolio of finished projects. At all costs, you need to avoid using "cowboys" for work of this kind. You may have to deal with big problems as work progresses when the quality of the plastering is poor, and these aren't often immediately noticeable.

The defects will soon show up on the freshly plastered wall once a coat of emulsion paint has been applied to it. This effect will be even more highlighted when the uneven surfaces are viewed in bright sunshine. So, ensure you only consider decent plasterers in Worstead.

The most crucial thing for plastered surfaces is that they are smooth and level. Irregular surfaces are difficult to disguise, however little blemishes and cracking can be filled and sanded later without too much trouble. An imperfectly plastered surface will lead to severe complications with the painting of the surfaces, the accurate fitting or skirting boards, the fitting of kitchen units and the tiling of wall surfaces.

With plastering it's advisable to get a polished finish, directly from the trowel, and this is what you should expect from the most experienced Worstead plasterers. It should never be necessary to use powered sanders on freshly plastered ceilings and walls, just a brief rub with a very fine paper before painting. If any degree of vigorous sanding is needed to flatten out the plastered areas, they weren't correctly done in the first place. If the use of orbital sanders is becoming commonplace, there is certainly something isn't right with your plasterer.

These days, one of the most common tasks a plasterer is asked to do, is plaster over an old artexed ceiling. At the height of fashion throughout the nineteen seventies and eighties, artex is out of favour in Worstead properties at present. To get all your old artex ceilings looking fresh and modern again, most Worstead plasterers will be more than happy to plaster over them. Those of you who are more retro in taste may wish to have your artex ceilings repaired and brought back to their former glory.

Do-it-Yourself Plastering Worstead: When you've got a plastering project that has to be done in Worstead, you've really got a couple of options. You can either bring in an experienced plasterer to complete the task, or have a stab yourself. Unless you're pretty good at DIY and have the self-assurance to take on the job, perhaps it's best left to the experts. As a rookie plasterer it is a wise idea to begin your plastering experience by perhaps doing a test run on a spare bedroom or an out of sight area, especially one that already has a poor plastered surface and that can only be improved by your amateurish efforts. This should enable you to relax and get comfortable with the required processes and should be a lot less nerve-racking. To a certain extent, it's quite possible for you to re-skim a wall as many times as you want, consequently if you make a lousy job of it at the first attempt, you can always re-do it as your expertise improves.

If you do not want to go to the lengths of taking a plastering course, you may be able to get some really good tips and hints by watching YouTube tutorials, although of course it is not always as easy as they sometimes make it seem in the videos. Like most "hands on" activities, the more you practice the more skilled you get at plastering. By using experimentation you might even come up with you own strategies for getting a flawless plastered finish. But if you are in doubt, stick with the tried and proven methods. Since plastering is mostly about self-confidence, the more frequently you do it, the more confident you'll get. As soon as you have mastered the skill to a level you're happy with, you can move on to plastering the main walls of your home. You still have the option of hiring an experienced Worstead plasterer to put things right if you mess it up.

Artex Worstead

Especially popular through the 70's and 80's, artex has long been an easy way to add a decorative finish to a ceiling, and also to hide uneven surfaces and cracks. It is not quite so simple to find a plasterer who will undertake artexing these days, whereas in the past you could find tons of tradesmen who did little else but artex and artex patching. The thing that boosted its popularity was probably the large range of designs and styles that it was fashioned in, and it seemed to be the case that everybody had their favourite, perhaps it was broken leather, scroll, criss-cross, pairs, circles, hook & line, medusa, stipple, basket, swirl or bark. Patterns of artex were available to suit any preference or taste. It's obviously still quite possible to get any of these artex ceiling patterns carried out today, you will simply have to locate a tradesman (a plasterer rather than a handyman) prepared to do it. With that said, it should be mentioned that artex is quite difficult to repair or patch up and it is almost certainly for this reason that its popularity waned.
