Frequently Asked Questions
How long does plaster take to dry? Plaster typically takes 1-2 weeks to dry thoroughly, though this varies with thickness, humidity, and temperature. We advise on appropriate decoration timescales for your project.

How much does plastering cost? Costs vary by room size, condition, and finish required. We provide free, detailed quotations for all plastering work in Neath Port Talbot and Swansea.
Do you remove old plaster? Yes, we remove damaged, loose, or unsuitable plaster as needed, disposing of waste responsibly and preparing surfaces properly for new work.
Can you work around my schedule? We’re flexible and work to suit your requirements wherever possible, including evenings and weekends for occupied properties.
