How to Plaster Over Artex

Artex is a surface coating used to create decorative finishes on ceilings and walls. Artex allows a professional plasterer or decorator to add texture and patterns to it. It was particularly popular in the 1970s and 1980s. It was banned in 1999. So, if your building has Artex coating on the wall or ceiling, and you are looking to remove it, you might need our help.

Best Way to Skim Over Artex

Now is it possible to skim over artex? Yes, it is. Skimming over an artex is a good way to achieve a flat finish rather than pulling down a ceiling or re-boarding. One has to be very careful with Artex as it contains asbestos which is harmful for the health as one might breathe in the fibers. If Artex is in good condition then it is safe to skim over it with a new layer of plaster. This can also help to make the material safer as it will hold the asbestos and lower the chances of it getting disturbed.

How Much to Skim a Ceiling Over Artex

The cost associated with skiming a ceiling over Artex can vary depending on a number of factors. These include the size of the roof, the condition of the ceiling, the location, and whether any other service is required.

Just like we experience wear and tear in our daily use items, walls too experience withering with time. You start noticing a lot of patches on your walls where the bricks behind the plaster can be seen. But how are patches made?

How to Patch & Repair Plaster Walls

Dot dabbing is a modern technique of fixing plasterboard to a solid wall by way of plasterboard adhesive. The internal surfaces are prepared with adhesive and plasterboard is applied to line the walls, prior to skim finish. The plasterboard is attached to a solid brick or block inner skin of a cavity wall by the use of dabs of adhesive or wooden battens. This creates a small gap between the plasterboard and the supporting wall. The technique of dot dabbing has become the preferred method of lining walls.

Dot dabbing is used where there is no stud wall to screw or nail the plasterboard to. Rather than having to build a stud frame first, it proves to be a quicker way by using a direct bond to stick the plasterboard directly to the wall. It is an effective way to dryline an internal masonry of brick walls.

We have undertaken numerous projects in the past that included dot dabbing. We use just the right material and equipment and exhibit extreme professionalism while doing the job. We also make sure that nothing is left unfinished and we clean up after finishing the job. This leaves our clients extremely pleased with the results.

So, next time you want to get dot dabbing done, but keep worrying about having to shell out a lot, consider our budget friendly service. We will be happy to serve you. Call us today to get a no-obligation quote from us.

We also provide pebble dashing service for the walls. This is a method used on walls of the exterior and it proves to be very cost effective. Pebble dashing is generally done on surfaces where the brickwork doesn’t look good anymore. It adds a rustic look to the wall and is generally done on period properties where other means of redoing the wall would prove to be more costly.

How to Repair a Pebble Dash Wall

Pebble Dashing derives its name from the process of throwing pebbles on web cement or top coat of the render so that they stick to the surface. This gives the wall a weathered and textured look. When done nicely and efficiently on exteriors, pebble dashing can transform the look of the property completely.

A pebble dash wall is a unique addition to any living space. The designs have small pebbles embedded in a cement or mortar coasting. With long exposure to everyday use, the pebbles or stones in the wall often get damaged, posing a challenge to the wall’s appearance and structural integrity. The need for pebble dash wall repairs can arise to restore quality and prevent elements from reaching the core of the structure. 

• To do so skillfully, remove any loose or damaged pebbles from the wall and clean the surface with a wire brush or pressure washer. 
• Identify the extent and nature of the damage and whether it will require fillers or retouching will be more effective to match the surrounding surface. 
• To reattach loose pebbles, apply a layer of superior-grade adhesive and press the pebbles firmly against the surface. 
• Apply a coat of pebble dash render over the repaired areas to restore texture. 
• Allow the pebble dash wall to dry. Protect the area from moisture to prevent any damage.

External Rendering Company London

Rendering is another term for plastering on the exteriors. Render generally contains more cement than plaster as it needs to be weather-resistant. Render is a plaster that is applied to the exteriors of a building, like the exterior walls and the facade, to either give it a touch-up or add a layer of protection to the walls. Rendering is a composition of lime gypsum, sand and cement, bonding agents, drying additives and colouring. Lime gypsum gives the coating a creamy appearance and smooth finish.
