Question 1

Can you plaster over tiles or woodchip in Linkhill?

Accepted Answer

In most Linkhill jobs, tiles have to be removed and the wall behind prepared before plastering starts. Woodchip is occasionally bonded and skim-coated instead of stripped, though removing it tends to give a more durable result, which we assess on-site.

Question 2

What preparation is needed before plastering in Linkhill?

Accepted Answer

For jobs in Linkhill, all we ask is that movable items are cleared from the room beforehand. We cover floors and fixtures, take any loose plaster back to a sound surface, and carry out priming or other substrate prep as the wall type requires.

Question 3

How much does a typical re-skim cost in Linkhill?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a re-skim in Linkhill comes down to room size, the condition of the existing wall, ceiling height, and how much prep work is needed before we can start. We quote per job rather than per day, and that figure covers materials, labour, and clearing up afterwards.

Question 4

Do you work weekends for jobs in Linkhill?

Accepted Answer

Our usual working hours for Linkhill are 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. If a job in Linkhill has a tight deadline we can often fit in a Saturday, though Sunday work is only considered case by case.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Jobs in Linkhill start the same way every time: materials and kit arrive with us, flooring and furniture are protected, and the work proceeds in a set order through the day. We agree the schedule and any specific needs for your property when we visit to quote.

Question 6

Can you plaster around fitted kitchens and bathrooms in Linkhill?

Accepted Answer

Yes, working around fitted kitchens and bathrooms in Linkhill properties is routine for us. Units and appliances are protected in place, though for some jobs it is quicker and cleaner to remove them temporarily, which we can talk through at the quotation stage.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

For bathrooms and kitchens in Linkhill that see a lot of moisture, we usually recommend microcement or a vinyl silk emulsion over standard matte, since they cope better with damp conditions. We cover the pros and cons of each at the quotation visit.

Question 8

Do you offer any guarantee on your work in Linkhill?

Accepted Answer

Work carried out in Linkhill is covered by our word: if an issue traces back to our plastering within the first year, we return and sort it at no cost to you.

Question 9

Can you advise on paint finishes after plastering in Linkhill?

Accepted Answer

Once the plastering in Linkhill is finished, we can point you toward what tends to work well over that particular finish, though for detailed paint advice we would suggest talking to your decorator directly.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

A skim in Linkhill refreshes a wall with a thin top coat over plaster that is already sound. Float and set is different: it is a two-stage process for new blockwork or plasterboard, levelling first with a float coat before the final skim goes on.
