Trade: Plasterer

After a fresh feel to your room? or does an area in your home need repair after some damages and or do you feel like your home needs some major uplift and brought back to life? Whether it’s the ceiling or the walls a plasterer can transform your area by using just that, plaster!  


For more information, a plasterer provides protection to walls and ceilings from moisture, weather elements and general wear and tear. Basically plaster acts like a shield against water to prevent or reduce mould, mildew growth and damage to building materials. 


So the steps undergone by a plasterer is first preparing the surface, cleaning the area, mixing the plaster then applying the plaster to the surface by using either trowels, brushes or spray equipment to spread the plaster. A lot of detail is involved at this stage when applying the plaster to ensure a perfect and smooth finish. The last stage is texturing. It depends what the customer is after so each technique used is different to achieve the aesthetic requirements of the project. 


If you ever witness cracks or holes on your walls or ceilings, well plasterers also repair that too by firstly removing the damaged plaster and replacing it with a new one and applying appropriate technique and finishes to blend in with the rest of the area.


Keep in mind that there are different types of plasterers that specialise in specific aspects of the plastering trade. In short they are solid plasterers, Drywall finisher, Ornamental Plasterer and Venetian Plasterer. 


A Plasterer is a skilful job as they need to level, smooth and shape plaster to achieve a perfect and even surface. Depending on the job requirements, some plasterers will need to incorporate decorative elements into the work. 


To all our plasterers past and present, we thank you for your service and hard work.

As we build with integrity we also build with care and better materials, and hence this increases your ROI. Here’s why: 1. Higher Property Value A strongly built home with great finishes stands out. Buyers are happy to pay more for a home that looks good and feels solid. 2. Fewer Ongoing Costs Good quality means less maintenance and fewer repairs later on. That saves you or the next owner money. 3. Better Energy Efficiency Homes that are built properly are more energy efficient. That means lower power bills and a big bonus when it comes to resale value. 4. More Buyer Confidence When buyers see quality, they feel confident. That can lead to faster sales and good offers.

That’s why we offer a complete service where we look after the design, drawings, and approvals from the start. It takes a lot of pressure off you and helps the whole project run more smoothly. Here’s why: 1. It’s Easier and Less Stressful When we manage everything from the beginning, there’s no back and forth between different people. We communicate directly with everyone involved, so things move faster and nothing gets lost in translation. 2.

However when we are involved early, we guide the design with your budget in mind, so you get what you want without any surprises. 3. We Know the Approval Process Dealing with council requirements, paperwork, and delays can be really frustrating if you haven’t done it before. We do it all the time and know exactly what’s needed. We take care of the documentation and submissions so you don’t have to. 4.
