Have you just bought a new home that needs some attention or even a new home that will be a large renovation project? Or maybe you have lived in your home a long time, your children have left, and now is the time to redecorate and modernise.
Perhaps, you started off thinking your home just needed a fresh coat of paint and some new flooring but once you started stripping off your old wallpaper you realised it was going to be a bigger job.
Whatever the size of the project you have taken on, we recommend that you hire a highly recommended local plasterer.
Small Home Improvements
You have decided that is time to modernise your kitchen. You have ordered nice new kitchen units, flooring and tiles. You may even have hired a joiner and a tiler to fit the kitchen and new tiles. Once the old units and tiles have been removed, it is likely that there will be marks and holes in the plaster. If you are modernising your kitchen you may get an electrician to fit some new sockets and lights. This will also leave marks and holes in your walls. If you don't get a good plasterer in to repair the walls and add a fresh coat of skimming plaster all the marks and holes will stand out when you paint or wallpaper them. You may decide to save some money by missing this stage, but we know that it will annoy you in the coming years. Just imagine sitting at your new dining table and every time the sun shines a certain way all you see is a dent in the wall rather than loving your beautiful new kitchen.
Large Home Renovations
A large home renovation will require many tradesmen and possibly even a project manager. Contracting a good plasterer is essential as you will see their work every day. They will make the finish on your walls and ceiling look and feel smooth. This attention to detail is what makes your home luxurious. A plasterer will be used to:
- Render the exterior walls of your home. Whether you need a modern smooth render or a fresh roughcasting, a good job will give your home great kerb appeal.
- Coat old Artex leaving a smooth finish ready for decoration.
- Repair broken cornices or add new decorative plasterwork.
- Plaster skim all the walls ready for decoration.
- Provide damp proofing services to repair any issues with dampness.
Many people with new build homes believe they don't need a plasterer as their home has plasterboard walls. However, it can get a bit bashed and old looking after a period of time. A coat of paint can improve the appearance but getting them plaster skimmed will be a huge improvement.
