Call a Plasterer before a Decorator

Have you started 2023 with a plan to decorate your home or perhaps a couple of rooms? It is quite a common New Year's resolution to want to start afresh whether it be with your health or with your home. 


Whether you are planning on DIY or calling a painter and decorator to do all the work, we believe you should consider getting a plasterer first. 




Reasons you may need a plasterer

1. You are going to get some new sockets and light fittings installed. Once the electrician has finished their work, you will want to have smooth plasterwork around the sockets before decorating.

2. You can see marks and holes in your plaster or plasterboard. Your new paint or wallpaper will look much better on a fresh plaster-skimmed wall. 

3. Your room has Artex.  A plasterer can coat the Artex, leaving you with a smooth wall or ceiling that is ready for decorating.

4. You are going to remove tiles from a kitchen or bathroom.  This process is bound to leave marks and gashes in the plasterwork.  Before adding new tiles or decorating we recommend getting a new coat of plaster.

5. The cornices in your room have broken and missing parts.  A plasterer can repair the cornices before decorating.
