What this work involves
Clarify whether walls will be painted, papered or decoratively finished. Substrate, cracks and grazing light affect the result. Coordinate installations, drying and subsequent work.
- Substrate assessment
- Required finish level
- Corners and reveals
- Drying and sequencing
- Protection and cleaning
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Relate new skirtings and trims to the chosen transition between styles.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw a scaled elevation showing existing and new windows together. Resolve the roof-edge, wall and window junction before deciding from an atmosphere image alone.
How to review the result
Review the result close up and from the garden. Check junctions and continuous lines; a neat individual joint says little about the coherence of the entire elevation.
Cost factors for this service
Area, substrate, thickness and detail work influence the price.
Bring this to the discussion
Wall and ceiling photographs, areas and intended finish.
Questions about the work
When can new plaster be painted?
When it is sufficiently dry and suitable for the chosen paint system. Material, thickness and conditions affect the time.
