WhatsAppAre Holybourne, Anstey and GU34 places you plaster and render?
Yes, we take plastering and rendering in Holybourne, in Anstey and through the rest of Alton in GU34. Our base is Winchester. We do a small ceiling patch, one whole room or a full exterior wall in any of those places.
If my ceiling in Alton is cracked, can the rest of it stay?
Yes, in Alton, wall and ceiling repairs keep the sound part of a ceiling when the coat beside a crack still holds, and that same limited repair covers plaster that a leak has ruined after the leak is sorted and the surface has dried. If the coat no longer holds, we remove the loose part until we reach plaster that still grips, then blend finishing plaster, spread thinly, into the face around the patch. Skimming and re-skimming flattens every wall, or every ceiling, that is uneven across its whole face, using two skim coats on fresh boards or on paint once a bonding agent, a preparatory coat, has been brushed over the paint.
How is an Alton wall or ceiling boarded with plasterboard?
Plasterboard and dry lining means an Alton room gets sheets screwed to timber already in place, or stuck onto the masonry, instead of wet plaster laid onto brickwork. We close each joint with tape and filler, and we set a metal bead, a stiff corner trim, wherever an edge has to run true. Ceiling sheets are screwed into the joists, including where the ceiling was opened for other work, and the skim then turns those sheets into one surface.
Can the pattern on an Artex ceiling or wall in Alton be flattened?
Yes, on an Alton ceiling Artex removal and smoothing buries Artex, the raised patterned coating, under fresh plaster, and the trowel works that coat until swirls, stipple and fan marks are gone. We coat walls that have that raised finish as well. A heavy stipple takes extra plaster in the dips of the pattern, while a faint texture fills with less.
In which months can you render my Alton house, and can hollow render be cut out?
We schedule new render on Alton houses, and the cutting out of hollow render, for April through September, because those months let sand and cement cure. External wall rendering can cover one wall, the pointed end wall of the roof, a wall in the garden or the whole house, and we leave that face smooth or we give it a texture. External rendering repair cuts out any coat that gives a hollow note when tapped, down to material that is solid, then rebuilds that part so the new face follows the texture of the sound coat beside it.
