Frequently Asked Questions
Why do walls need preparation before fitting units?
Uneven or damaged walls can cause units to hang out of alignment, affect tile adhesion, and result in visible gaps. Proper preparation ensures a clean, professional finish.
How long does plastering take to dry?
Fresh plaster typically needs 3 to 5 days to dry fully before tiling or painting. We factor this drying time into the project schedule.
Do you treat damp walls?
Yes. If we identify signs of damp during the preparation phase, we apply appropriate treatment before plastering to prevent future issues.
Can you work on period properties with unusual wall materials?
Yes. We have experience with lath-and-plaster, solid brick, and other period wall constructions found across London homes.
