Then again, any one of numerous plastering related jobs might be needed.

Ask if you can see some photos of previously accomplished projects when meeting with prospective Acle plasterers, anybody that knows their trade will be glad to agree to this, and have nowt to hide. You want to avoid using "cowboys" for this type of work, at all costs. Although it may not be immediately noticeable, inferior plastering can lead to significant problems later on.

Smooth and level are the primary attributes of plastering, since other materials will always be applied to it. Trivial cracks and dents can be easily repaired later on with few issues, but irregular plaster is difficult to cover up. Trouble with the painting of ceilings and walls, the fitting of architraves, any area of tiling (kitchens or bathrooms) and the installation of kitchen units, can be caused by an unevenly plastered area.

You can always tell top notch Acle plasterers because they consistently get a perfect, polished, right from the trowel. Sanding (especially by machine) shouldn't ever be necessary on newly plastered walls and ceilings, a quick rub down with fine glasspaper is the most that ought to be required. You'd be correct in thinking that the plastering hasn't been done to a satisfactory standard if too much sanding is necessary. The alarm bells should definitely be ringing out if electric sanders are being utilized with any regularity.

Covering up an artexed ceiling, is among a plasterers most frequently requested tasks these days. At present out of favour in Acle, artex was the most widely used decorative finish for ceilings during the 1970's and 80's.

If the contrary is the case, then many plasterers will bring that 70's style back once more by slapping on a coat of artex.

As a newbie plasterer it's advisable to begin your plastering adventure by practicing on an out-of-sight area or a spare bedroom, particularly one that's already got a poorly plastered surface and cannot be made worse by your efforts. This will allow you to test out your newly acquired skills and should be a lot less stressful than trying to do a wall that everybody can see. To a degree, it is possible for you to re-skim a wall as many times as you like, so if you make a lousy job of it at the first attempt, you can simply re-do it as your abilities improve.

Plasterboarding Acle (Dry Lining)

Dry Lining Acle: A number of plasterers in Acle also provide dry lining services (plasterboarding), which will be needed in plenty of home improvement jobs. By attaching plasterboard to a wooden studding, a brick or masonry surface or metal Gypframe, a surface is produced that doesn't have to be plastered. Although in some situations the plasterboard itself may be decorated (with a little preparation), an extremely smooth, hard surface is produced by applying one last skim of finishing plaster. In terms of fittings, when attaching to a brick or masonry wall the "dot and dab" method is used, when fixing plasterboard to wood studding or joists, nails or drywall screws are used and when fixing to a metal frame self-tapping (or Jack-Point screws) are used.
