Frequently asked
How long before I can paint fresh plaster?+
Typically 3–7 days depending on temperature and ventilation. We advise a mist coat as the first paint layer.
Can you skim over artex?+
In most cases yes, using a bonding coat then skim. Very heavy artex may need scraping back first.
Is plastering messy?+
It's inherently dusty, but we sheet floors, seal doorways and vacuum thoroughly at the end of every day.
