What is plastering?

Plastering is used on walls and ceilings as a base to work on. It supplies a textured base to work on. For example if you intend papering or painting directly over the top of plaster, it would need to be very smooth, if tiling over plaster it needs to be slightly more rough. A competent builder usually uses two coats of plaster to build a depth first is a bonding plaster, which would dry rough, the second coat will then bond to the rough coat and give a smooth finish which you can decorate on top of. You may not need two coats of plaster if you are plastering onto plaster board, you will only need the second quote of plaster to give the smooth finish.

Blown
When the plaster, whether all coats or just one, leaves the surface it will sound hollow when gently tapped and possibly bulge

Problems with your plaster?

When removing wallpaper or stripping paint it can sometimes remove the finish coat of plaster, so your builder may need to re-plaster your walls or ceiling. He may or may not have priced for this eventuality in his quote. You could check when he is measuring up your room. Your builder will always advise you on what he/she feels is best for your individual needs.

Reasons why your walls or ceilings would need re-plastering are:

  • If your walls are very uneven.
  • If your plaster has blown, this is when your plaster lifts from the wall or second coat of plaster.
  • If your walls are bare brick, for example new properties or very old properties may need plastering.


    • Used to finish the internal walls and ceilings in most properties. A plastered or boarded surface can be decorated with paint, paper or tiles. Whatever you are planning to decorate with, all defects such as cracks etc, need to be filled and made good.

    If applying plaster to plasterboard you will only need one coat of finishing plaster. However, walls (barebrick) or ceilings will need two coats. First coat is bond (bonding plaster) or sand and cement render and the second coat is a skim, using finish plaster allow to decorate over the top.
