If you’re searching for somebody to complete a plastering job for your house and I find it’s best to hire a professional for the job.
It is more often than not very difficult to judge the exact plaster and job required for your wall or ceiling. Personally I’ve wasted a lot of time looking through websites and directories trying to find the best person for the best price. The cheapest price isn’t always going to be the best person for the job so please bear that in mind. The way I have done it in the past is to complete an exact list of requirements and submitted to multiple sites and wait for each quite a comeback with a quotation and a detailed itinerary of any work they are proposing.
How To Get An Accurate Quote:
To help get an accurate quote I highly recommend measuring the area that you require to be plastered, be it a wall or an existing ceiling. Also bear in mind that the location of the room is equally important, whether it is your home or your office bathroom or garden this will help the plaster gauge the job properly and allow for a more accurate quotation.
Plastering jobs are usually not very difficult for a plaster to track down work because it is a skill that is in short supply with not many people able to do the job at home themselves. Sometimes an experienced plaster will be called up for minor jobs such as repairing cracks and holes and it is for this reason that they usually find themselves inundated with work.
Plastering job can also involve the mixing and implying of different types of plaster depending on the job specifically requires. Providing a nice finish to a surface is very different to applying plaster to internal surfaces. Generally speaking for the outer walls plastering is undertaken with a mixture of sand and cement stone effects or pebble dash.
Fibrous plastering:
Fibrous plastering can be considered more ornamental such as making ceiling roses cornices and ornamental columns. This is usually achieved by a mixture of short fibres mixed into the plaster which can then be moulded into casts as required by the job.
Dry lining:
Only recently dry lining is now term associated with plastering. Dry lining is the term given to the construction internal partitions using a mixture of plaster board or perhaps wallboard. Usually a timber or metal frame is made up and then wall and floor partitions are constructed by securing the boards together.
