Plasterer Pill

You do not want to get stuck with a bunch of "cowboys" messing up your plastering work. It is really difficult to remedy poor quality plastering after it's been completed, therefore it should be done properly from the outset.

Since plaster is always covered up with other materials you can easily forget how important it is that it is level and smooth. Uneven plastering is difficult to conceal, however small dents and cracking can be easily repaired and sanded down later without any problems. Issues with the fitting of kitchen units, any area of tiling (bathrooms or kitchens), the fitting of skirtings and the decorating of walls and ceilings, can be caused by a poorly plastered area.

The best Pill plasterers will get a polished finish straight from the trowel. A plastered ceiling or wall should never have to be sanded down to get a decent finish, it should only need a quick rub down with fine sandpaper before it is decorated. If a lot of sanding is occurring, the plastering wasn't done competently to begin with. If you see the power sanders appearing you should be very suspicious.

Though he may not be too happy that you did not contact him from the outset.

Skimming

Plaster Skimming Pill: When you've got damaged plaster surfaces, new plasterboard or artex that needs covering, you will have to get a craftsman to skim or re-skim with finishing plaster. Plasterers are frequently asked to do this type of task. In the course of home remodelling either existing plaster walls are altered or damaged, or new plasterboard walls are put in. These imperfect surfaces can easily be transformed into smooth, glass-like finishes by a professional who's skilled in this technique. You have to leave this for several days to dry out properly before you decorate over it. You will end up with a perfectly flat and fault-free surface which will last for many years.

Plaster

What is Plaster? - Used for protecting and decorating ceilings and walls in buildings, plaster is a material that's been in use since the days of the ancient Egyptians. In the United Kingdom the term "plaster" typically pertains to a material that is utilized on the interiors of homes, while the material used on external areas is termed "render". Plaster mixes typically contain either cement, gypsum, or lime, which all work in pretty similar ways. Mixed together with water to produce a stiff, easily workable paste, plaster is just a dry powder at the time of manufacture. The blending of the water and plaster causes a reaction, and heat is generated through crystallization, making the paste set. For acquiring plaster products you can head over to British Gypsum, Travis and Perkins, Wickes, B&Q or Screwfix.

Decorative Plastering

Plastering has been practiced for both decorative and functional purposes ever since the days of the ancient Egyptian builders. The substances used would obviously have been different in those long gone days, when mixtures of mud and clay would have been used. In 13th Century London, plaster was applied to the interior walls of buildings to help restrict fires from spreading. Buildings of the Victorian and Georgian periods were widely adorned with mouldings and features made out of plaster of paris or gypsum. Skilled plasterers working today are able to produce stunning decorative effects by pairing modern materials with centuries old techniques. This may include the application of ceiling roses, niches, brackets, corbels, coving, cornices and dentils.

Dry Lining (Plasterboarding) Pill

Dry Lining Pill: There are a lot of home improvement projects that will require dry lining (plasterboarding) to be carried out, and a few Pill plasterers should be able to carry this out for you. A process that produces a surface which doesn't need plastering, plasterboard is attached to metal framing, a brick or masonry surface or a wooden studding. Although in some instances the plasterboard itself can be decorated (with a bit of preparation), an exceptionally smooth surface is produced by giving it one last skim of finishing plaster. As for fittings, when attaching plasterboard to wooden studding or joists, drywall screws or nails are used, when attaching to a masonry or brick wall the "dot and dab" method is used and when fixing to a metal frame self-tapping (or Jack-Point screws) are used.

Screeding Pill

Screeding entails the application of a cement mix, to generate a level, smooth floor surface. Screeding is generally put on top of a concrete sub-floor to take on the final floor finish, to be left as a wearing floor surface or to cover underfloor heating pipes. This will considerably lengthen the life of the complete floor and positively affect its finish, quality and durability, for several years. Hand mixing screed is only acceptable for smaller areas, in all other instances a proper screed pump should be used to quickly produce a smooth, even mix of cement and sand and to transport (pump) this fine mix directly to its required location, avoiding the use of wheelbarrows and other equipment.

Artexing

Despite the fact that artex isn't really as popular today as it was in the nineteen seventies and eighties it is still an ideal way to enhance the appearance of an uneven or cracked ceiling. While a few years ago you could find tons of tradespeople who did little else but artex and artex patching, these days it is not quite so simple to obtain a plasterer who will undertake artexing. With designs like basket & flowers, hook & line, swirl, criss-cross, scroll, broken leather, bark, medusa, stipple, pairs or circles, there was something for everybody. There was an artex pattern that was suitable, regardless of your personal taste. Every one of these artex patterns can still be carried out today if you're able to track down a local artexer or plumber willing to do it. Avoid handyman types who'll just "have a go". The one hitch with artex, and one that triggered its fall in popularity, is it's tricky to repair or patch.

Pebble Dashing Pill

Suitable for both new and renovated houses, pebble dash usually consists of 2 layers of a base made from sand and lime onto which small gravel or pebbles are firmly pressed to create an attractive, maintenance free and tough finish.
