Sorry not posted in a while, us at Skim Kings have been very busy, non stop plastering and Rendering.
We have been on site for the last couple of months and whilst they get up to having more ready for the team to plaster I have jumped of site and started going through my smaller jobs that I had booked in, this being one of them.
Artex ceiling scrapped back and plasterers grit was applied, a much better product to use on artex I've found out rather than pva.
A wall with settlement cracks from an extention done on the floor below (the wall was solid other wise I would of taken it back to brick) cracks tapped goid couple coats of pva.
Electrician had been in before hand and chased new wires but instead of sinking the wires into the joists he wanted an easy job and surface mounted so I had to sink them before putting plaster board in scrimmed and a tad of bonding to prevent further cracks, goid coat of pva and jobs a good one.
I must say washable paint or shiny vinyl paint is an absalute joke to plaster over as it doesn't allow the wall to breath which pushes air bubbles to the surface of your plaster causing tiny bubbles, this for a newbie would be the end of the world but having felt with this over the years I know once I've given it a good brush and a few shakes of my magic trowel it will be absalue bang on like it was.
If you are looking for a plasterer please feel free to contact me via messenger or on the contact number through this page.
We do domestic and site work both plastering and Rendering.
