Question 1

Do you offer any guarantee on your work in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

Our reputation stands behind every job we do in Kippings Cross. If something goes wrong with our work within the first year, we come back and put it right at no charge.

Question 2

Can you advise on paint finishes after plastering in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to share what usually performs best on top of a finish once a job in Kippings Cross is complete, but for the finer points of paint choice, your decorator is the better source.

Question 3

What is the difference between skimming and float and set in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

For Kippings Cross properties, skimming means a thin refresh coat over existing sound plaster, while float and set is the two-coat approach used on new blockwork or plasterboard, levelling with a float coat before the finishing skim.

Question 4

How long does it take to plaster a room in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

A single-room skim on sound existing plaster in Kippings Cross usually takes a day. Float and set runs longer, typically two to three days per room, since each coat needs time to dry before the next goes on.

Question 5

Do you repair period plaster in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

Yes, older properties in Kippings Cross 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 6

Can you plaster over tiles or woodchip in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

For plastering over old wall coverings in Kippings Cross, tiles almost always need removing first so the substrate can be prepared properly. Woodchip has more flexibility, sometimes bonded and skimmed rather than stripped, but we will advise which route suits your walls after a look on-site.

Question 7

What preparation is needed before plastering in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

Before we start in Kippings Cross, clear the room of movable items and we will take care of covering floors and fixtures, removing any loose plaster back to a sound base, and handling undercoat priming or specialist prep the wall type needs.

Question 8

How much does a typical re-skim cost in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

Every re-skim quote for Kippings Cross is worked out from room size, wall condition, ceiling height, and any extra prep the walls need. We price the whole job, not a day rate, so the figure you get includes materials, labour, and leaving the site clean.

Question 9

Do you work weekends for jobs in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

For jobs in Kippings Cross we keep to Monday to Friday, 7am until 6pm, as standard. Saturdays are available by arrangement where there is a deadline to hit, and Sundays are the exception rather than the rule.

Question 10

What should I expect on the day of a plastering job in Kippings Cross?

Accepted Answer

On the day, we turn up in Kippings Cross with everything needed for the job, protect your flooring and furniture first, then work steadily through until finished, leaving the site clean at the end. Timings and any particular requirements are agreed with you at the quotation stage.
