Plasterers St Helens

Even seemingly simple home remodeling projects can create the need for plastering work. It might be the likes of plastering over an old artexed ceiling, fitting mouldings or coving before decorating, latex screeding or plaster skimming a dry lined partition. Having said that, any one of an array of plastering related tasks could be needed.

The most critical thing is to employ a plasterer who knows what they are doing and has a portfolio of successfully completed jobs that they can let you see. Plastering calls for a methodical approach and should not be done by "cowboys". Although it may not always be immediately apparent, poor quality plastering can result in significant complications down the line.

Any imperfections in your freshly plastered walls and ceilings will soon become apparent when a splash of emulsion is brushed onto it. When viewed in bright daylight, even more imperfections will become apparent on any uneven surfaces. It goes without saying that you should steer clear of dodgy tradesmen, and choose only from competent plasterers in St Helens.

Level and smooth are the key attributes of plastering, because other materials will subsequently be applied to it. It is quite simple to fill and smooth off any small imperfections and cracking, but it's hard to cover up inherently uneven surfaces. Surfaces that are irregularly plastered can result in difficulties with the accurate fitting or skirting boards, the fitting of kitchen units, any area of tiling (bathrooms or kitchens) and the decorating of walls and ceilings.

Professional St Helens plasterers will get a perfect finish right from the trowel. A plastered ceiling or wall should never need to be sanded down to get a good finish, it should only require a brief rub with fine sandpaper before it is decorated. You can assume that the plastering hasn't been carried out properly if strenuous sanding is called for. There is definately something awry with your plasterer, if you hear the sound of orbital sanders.

Nowadays, one of the most common jobs a plasterer is requested to do, is plaster over an artexed ceiling. Countless homes in St Helens had ceilings which were coated with artex during the nineteen seventies and eighties, when it was at its height of popularity. Plastering over that artex ceiling to make it look more sleek and contemporary is something that most plasterers in St Helens will be happy to do. Most plasterers will also be glad to slap on a coat of artex if you'd like to bring back that 1970's style for your ceilings.

DIY Plastering St Helens: Although when you have plastering work that has to be carried out in your home or business premises in St Helens, it's much better to bring in an experienced plasterer to do the project, it is quite possible to have a shot yourself, if you have self-belief and are good at DIY. As an unskilled plasterer it is a great idea to start your plastering journey by practicing on a spare bedroom or an out of sight area, in particular one that already has a poorly plastered finish and cannot be made worse by your endeavours. This will enable you to test out your newly found skills and should be a lot less stressful than tackling a wall surface that everyone can see. Within reason, it is possible for you to re-skim a wall surface as many times as you wish, subsequently if you make a bodge up of it to start with, you can just re-do it as your skills improve.

If you don't want to go to the lengths of signing up for a proper plastering course, you will be able to get some good tips by watching YouTube tutorials, although it's not always as simple as it's made to look in those videos. Practice makes perfect as the saying goes, and plastering is no exception to this rule - subsequently the more you practice the better and more confident you become. Following the tried and proven techniques is usually better when you're plastering, although through experimentation you may even think up your own solutions for getting that perfect plastered finish. Because plastering is mainly about confidence, the more often you do it, the more confident you'll become. You can attempt some more challenging plastering projects when you have mastered this skill to a good standard. You've still got the option of contacting an experienced St Helens plasterer if you mess it up.

Polished Plastering St Helens

Polished plaster is basically the name applied to contemporary versions of traditional Italian plasterered finishes that have been used to great effect for many centuries. The term "Polished Plaster" is usually used to describe a wide array of high quality plaster finishes, from more rugged looking textured plasters to really highly polished Marmorino, Venetian and Lucidato plasters. Supplying a finish that appears just like travertine, limestone or marble, polished plaster is mainly used on inside walls and ceilings. Polished plaster has got natural variations of shade providing an impression of depth whilst still smooth to the touch. By the combining of these various forms of plaster compounds it's possible to produce distinct custom finishes that can be employed to great effect. With the use of artificial or natural colourants polished plaster can be given interesting colours or tints. The opportunity to add a tint to Venetian plaster is especially important when a certain "marbled" design is required, or when a colour which doesn't exist in nature is needed.

Pebble Dashing St Helens

A method which is regularly used to decorate and protect the outside walls of houses, pebble dashing (or roughcast) is not everybody's cup of tea in St Helens. There are pebbledashing specialists around, but now and again St Helens plasterers will happily do this type of job for you. Pebble dash usually consists of two layers of a base made of lime and sand onto which small gravel or pebbles are firmly pressed to give both refurbished and new buildings a decorative, maintenance free and strong surface finish.

Dry Lining (Plasterboarding) St Helens

Dry lining is sometimes required in home refurbishment projects, and there are a few plasterers in St Helens who are willing to offer this service. By affixing plasterboard to Gypframe metal framing, a wood studding or a brickwork surface, a flat, smooth wall surface is created which does not have to be plastered. Although in certain instances the plasterboard itself can be decorated (with a little additional preparation), an exceptionally smooth, hard surface is generated by applying one last skim of finishing plaster. As for fittings, when fixing to a brickwork wall the "dot and dab" method is used, when fixing plasterboard to wooden studding or joists, nails or drywall screws are used and when attaching to a metal frame self-tapping (or Jack-Point screws) are used.
