Question 4

How do you handle moisture in bathrooms or kitchens in Kilndown?

In moisture-prone rooms in Kilndown, a specialist finish like microcement or a quality vinyl silk emulsion tends to hold up better than a standard matte finish. We talk through the options for your bathroom or kitchen when we quote.

Question 7

What is the difference between skimming and float and set in Kilndown?

Accepted Answer

Skimming is a thin finishing coat applied over sound existing plaster to freshen up a wall, which is common on older Kilndown properties. Float and set is a two-coat system used on new blockwork or plasterboard: a float coat levels the surface, then a skim coat gives the final finish.

Question 8

How long does it take to plaster a room in Kilndown?

Accepted Answer

Most single-room skims in Kilndown are a one-day job on existing plaster. Float and set takes more like two to three days per room because of the drying time needed between coats.

Question 9

Do you repair period plaster in Kilndown?

Accepted Answer

Yes, older properties in Kilndown often have original lime plaster or lath and plaster that needs a different approach than modern gypsum. We assess the existing system and repair with compatible materials.

Question 10

Can you plaster over tiles or woodchip in Kilndown?

Accepted Answer

Tiles generally need to come off before we can plaster in Kilndown, with the substrate prepared afterwards. Woodchip can sometimes be bonded and skimmed over, but we usually recommend removal for a finish that lasts, and we will confirm the right approach on-site.
