Plasterer in Hersham
Plastering gives a room its flat, finished surface. Plasterers skim new boards, re-plaster old walls and patch up damage after other trades have been in.
About Hersham
Hersham is a village just south of Walton-on-Thames in Elmbridge, built around its village green. Most homes here are a short drive from the neighbouring towns, so it is normal to ask tradespeople from Walton, Esher or Cobham as well.
Old homes can have walls of several kinds in one room. Ask how the plasterer will join the new work to the old.
Hersham is in Elmbridge, Surrey. If you cannot find the right plasterer here, the nearby places Walton-on-Thames, Esher, Cobham and Weybridge each have their own page below or in the full list.
What a plasterer does
On new walls plasterers fit and tape boards then skim over them. On old walls they may repair or replace failed plaster first.
Jobs people often ask plasterers to do:
- Skimming walls and ceilings
- Patching after rewiring or plumbing
- Dry lining and taping plasterboard
- Rendering outside walls
- Fitting coving and cornice
Before you book a plasterer
- New plaster needs time to dry before painting, often a few days or more. Ask when you can decorate, and what to put on first.
- Ask whether the price covers boarding, scrim tape and preparation or only the skim coat.
- Cracks can come back if the cause was movement. A good plasterer will tell you if they think the wall needs looking at first.
- Ask how many days the work will take, and whether rooms can be used in the meantime.
