Common Questions

Answers to your most frequent plastering queries.

How long does plaster take to dry?

Typically, skimming takes 3-5 days to dry completely, changing from a dark pink to a light pink color. Do not paint until fully dry.

Can you skim over Artex?

Yes, we can. We usually scrape off high points and apply a bonding agent before skimming to create a modern smooth ceiling.

Do I need to clear the room?

We recommend clearing small items. For large furniture, move it to the center of the room, and we will cover it with dust sheets.

What is K-Rend?

K-Rend is a silicone-based external render that is breathable, water-repellent, and available in various colors, so it doesn't require painting.
