Professional Plastering Services in Bristol

Plastering typically takes 2-3 days to dry completely, depending on the conditions. However, it may take up to a week to dry fully before painting. Factors like temperature, humidity, and ventilation can affect drying times. We recommend waiting at least 5-7 days before painting newly plastered walls for the best results.

Artex applied before the mid-1980s may contain asbestos, which can be hazardous if disturbed. We offer professional asbestos testing before any artex removal project to ensure safety. If asbestos is present, we have certified procedures for safe removal. Our team is fully trained and equipped to handle artex removal safely, whether it contains asbestos or not.

Plastering refers to applying a base coat of plaster to create a level surface, while skim coating is a thin finishing layer applied over existing plaster to create a smooth, new surface. Skimming is typically faster and less expensive than full plastering, but full plastering may be necessary for badly damaged walls or new constructions.

Plastering costs in Bristol vary depending on room size, wall condition, and the type of plastering required. For a standard room, prices typically range from £300-£600 for skimming existing walls, while plastering from scratch may cost £500-£800.
