Hadleigh Plastering & Skimming Services
Hadleigh Plasterers: Whether you are wanting to have your entire property in Hadleigh plastered, just one room re-skimmed, or simply one small area of plaster repaired, you will be hunting for a qualified and professional plasterer to carry out the work effectively. Plastering is not usually a job that you should attempt by yourself, it's a technique that can take many years of practise.
There are a lot of home restoration projects, even small ones, that result in some plastering work having to be carried out. Frequently it'll be plastering over artex, latex screeding, installing coving or cornices before decorating or skimming dry lining. However, any one of a number of plastering related tasks could be required.
Any decent Hadleigh plasterers will have to hand portfolio (or at least some photographs) of successfully completed assignments, ask if you can see it so that you can make sure that they know their stuff. For this sort of work, you should avoid using "cowboys", without exceptions. You may run into major complications down the line if the quality of the plastering is inferior, and these are not always immediately apparent.
Any defects will become blindingly obvious once some paint starts to be applied to your newly plastered ceilings and walls. They'll probably look even worse with the sunlight shining on them. When you've got the choice between experienced plasterers in Hadleigh and bad ones, always use a competent one.
The most critical attribute of plastered surfaces is that they be smooth and flat. It's quite easy to fill and sand down any small cracking and blemishes, but it is hard to conceal fundamentally irregular plaster. An unevenly plastered surface will lead to major problems with the wallpapering and painting of walls and ceilings, any area of wall tiling, fitting skirting boards and the fitting of kitchen units.
With plastering it's necessary to get the perfect finish, directly from the trowel, and this is what you should be expecting from the busiest Hadleigh plasterers. You should never have to do any sanding on a plastered wall or ceiling aside from a quick rub down before decorating. You would be correct in thinking that the plastering hasn't been done to an acceptable level if too much sanding is necessary. If the use of electric sanders is becoming commonplace, there is certainly something is amiss with your plasterer.
Plasterers perform many tasks but one of the most common nowadays, is plastering over artexed ceilings. Many houses in Hadleigh had ceilings that were coated with artex during the seventies and eighties, when it was the height of fashion. Covering that dated artex ceiling with plaster is something that most Hadleigh plasterers will jump at the chance to do in order to make it look more sleek and contemporary. Plastering over artex is preferable to removing it because it is pretty difficult to take off or repair, which is no doubt why its popularity waned in the first place.
Do-it-Yourself Plastering Hadleigh: Although when you have plastering work that needs to be carried out in your home or business premises in Hadleigh, it is preferable to call in a reputable plasterer to tackle it, it's still quite possible to have a crack on your own, if you have the confidence and are reasonable at DIY. Doing a test run on a spare bedroom or an out of sight area is definitely a great idea when you're starting your initial plastering journey. Whenever possible try to choose a wall that already has an inaccurately plastered finish, so that your efforts can't make it much worse. This is likely to be less stressful for you, and enable you to spend some time mastering your newly acquired skills. It's possible to re-skim a wall surface as many times as you want within reason, and you can quite easily have another go if you don't do a decent job the first time around.
If you are interested in a few tips and advice to set you on the right path, you could watch a few You Tube tutorials. Or, if you're itching to learn plastering you could even consider signing up for a course at a nearby college or school. Plastering is a "hands on" activity and the more you practice the better you become. By using experimentation you might even come up with you own strategies for getting a flawless plastered finish. But if you're uncertain, follow the tried and tested procedures. Because plastering is all about confidence, the more often you do it, the more confident you'll become. You can tackle some more complex plastering work when you've perfected this skill to a reasonable degree. If you mess it up, you've still got the option of bringing in an experienced Hadleigh plasterer to skim over your mistakes.

Artex Hadleigh
Though artex isn't as popular today as it was in the 1970's and 80's it's still an excellent way to enhance the appearance of an uneven or cracked ceiling. It's not quite so simple to obtain a plasterer that will tackle artexing at the moment, whereas in the past there were numerous tradespeople who did very little else but artex and artex repairs. The thing that helped its attractiveness was the a wide variety of styles and designs that it could be fashioned in, and it appeared to be the case that everyone had their favourite design, perhaps it might have been hook & line, criss-cross, swirl, stipple, bark, circle, pairs, scroll, basket & flowers, broken leather or medusa. No matter what your taste, there seemed to be a style of artex to match. Every one of these artex styles can still be achieved today if you can find an artexer of plumber willing to do it. Stay away from handyman type people who will just "have a go". The only pitfall with artex, and one that brought about its decline, is that it is hard to repair or patch.

Skimming and Re-Skimming Hadleigh
Skimming or re-skimming is a thin layer of plaster trowelled over the top of old damaged plasterwork, new plasterboard or unwanted artex. This is one of the most common jobs which plasterers are asked to do. Lots of home refurbishments call for new plasterboarded walls or inflict damage on existing plastered surfaces. A two coat skim done by an expert will transform those flawed surfaces into glass-like, smooth finishes that are suitable for painting or wallpapering. Before you decorate on top of it, you need to leave it to dry for a few days. A perfectly fault-free and flat surface ought to be the result you end up with.(Tags: Plaster Skimming Hadleigh, Re-Skimming Hadleigh, Skimming Hadleigh)
Polished Plastering Hadleigh
Polished plaster is a typical term for the finished surface of several plasters and for the classification of updated styles of old fashioned Italian plaster finishes. The phrase "Polished Plaster" is in fact used to describe a comparatively wide array of superior plaster finishes, from rugged textured plasters to very highly polished Venetian, Lucidato and Marmorino plasters. The technique is generally used internally, on walls and ceilings, to supply a finish that looks like polished marble, travertine or limestone. Polished plaster has natural variations of shade providing an impression of depth whilst still being smooth when touched. Special custom finishes can be created by blending these different kinds of plasters. With the use of natural or artificial colourants polished plaster can be given attractive colours or tints. This is particularly handy when trying to achieve "marbling" effects or produce designs and colours that don't exist naturally.
Screeders Hadleigh
Many plasterers in Essex will also provide a floor screeding service, by which a new level floor surface is formed by using a cement and sand mix. Screeding is typically applied over a concrete sub-floor to be left as a wearing floor surface, to cover underfloor heating pipes or to take on the final floor finish. This will considerably prolong the life of a floor and assure its quality, finish and durability, for years to come. A proper screed pump must be employed to rapidly produce an even, smooth mixture of cement, sand and water and to transport (pump) this perfect mix straight to its required location, avoiding the need for paraphernalia like wheelbarrows and such like. The hand mixing of screed should only be used for smaller areas.
Rendering Hadleigh
The procedure of applying a mixture of sand, cement, lime and water to both interior and exterior walls in order to achieve a smooth or textured surface, is known as rendering, and it is a very similar skill to plastering. Rendering is especially common in the Mediterranean region, but is also popular all around Europe. A rendered finish is water resistant and has some fire resistant qualities, though it is generally used for aesthetic purposes. You can obtain a more resilient and long lasting surface finish by colouring the render mix itself, though it is possible to apply paint to a rendered wall.
Pebble Dashing Hadleigh
Pebbledashing (or roughcast) has been around for many years and used to protect and decorate the external walls of homes. Although it isn't to everyone's taste. Plasterers will sometimes carry out this type of work for you, although there are pebbledashing specialists available. Perfect for both new and renovated homes, pebble dash usually consists of two layers of a base made from sand and lime onto which small pebbles, gravel or shells are pressed to form a maintenance free, strong and decorative finish.
