Plastering Services

Plastering is the main part of our service offering at STW Plastering & Building. Our plastering process involves applying plaster to walls and ceilings to create smooth, durable, or decorative finishes to homes in Hertfordshire.

Skimming

Skimming is the process of applying a fine, 3mm coat of plaster to rough or uneven surfaces, creating a perfectly smooth and level finish. This is ideal for old, patchy walls and ceilings, offering a seamless surface ready for painting or wallpapering.

The smooth finish achieved through skimming not only enhances the appearance of your home but also provides a much more durable and stable surface for decorating.

It’s important to allow the plaster to dry fully before you begin painting or applying wallpaper. Typically, plaster requires 7–14 days to dry, but if damp work has been involved, it may take up to 26 weeks to fully cure.

Dry Lining & Partitioning

Dry lining involves fixing plasterboard to walls or ceilings to create a smooth and even surface, ready for decoration. This technique is a faster and cleaner alternative to traditional wet plastering, making it ideal for modern builds or renovations. Dry lining can also be used to improve insulation, conceal unsightly pipes or cables, and create a polished finish in a fraction of the time.

Partitioning, on the other hand, is the process of using plasterboard to build internal walls or divide large spaces. These partitions are perfect for creating new rooms, offices, or storage areas, providing a cost-effective and versatile solution, offering flexibility without the need for extensive structural changes.

Both dry lining and partitioning ensure a professional finish and can be completed quickly, minimizing disruption to your space.

Ceiling Plastering

Ceiling plastering is the process of applying plaster to ceilings, either to create a perfectly smooth surface or to repair cracks, holes, or other damage. A well-plastered ceiling enhances the overall look of a room, creating a flawless base for painting or other decorative finishes.

Whether you’re dealing with an old, uneven ceiling or need plastering after construction or repair work, ceiling plastering ensures a clean, polished result. It can also be combined with decorative plasterwork, such as coving or ceiling roses, to add a touch of character and elegance to your space.

Proper care must be taken to ensure that the ceiling is prepared correctly before plastering, and the plaster should be allowed to dry completely before painting or decorating.

Plastering Repairs & Patching

Plaster repairs and patching involve fixing damaged or worn areas of plaster to restore the surface to its original condition. This service is ideal for repairing cracks, dents, or holes caused by wear and tear, accidents, or structural issues.

Our patching process ensures that repairs blend seamlessly with the surrounding plaster, creating a flawless finish. This not only improves the appearance of your walls and ceilings but also prevents further damage by addressing underlying issues like moisture ingress or structural movement.

Once the patching is complete and fully dried, the surface will be ready for painting or decorating. Repairing damaged plaster is a cost-effective way to restore the look of your home while maintaining the integrity of your walls and ceilings.
