MoreRobin Hood Plastering FAQs
Questions we get asked most about plastering, rendering and damp proofing jobs in Robin Hood and the surrounding Derbyshire area.
Is there a call-out charge for a quote in Robin Hood?
No, quoting is free. We'll come out to Robin Hood, have a look at what needs doing, and talk you through the options before any commitment is made.
Will the job disrupt my Robin Hood property for long?
We aim to keep disruption to a minimum. A standard skim is generally in and out within a day, and we always leave the work area as clean as we found it.
How long before I can decorate after plastering?
Fresh plaster is usually touch dry in 24 to 48 hours but needs longer to fully dry through, roughly a week per 5mm of thickness. We'll tell you the realistic window for your Robin Hood job before we finish.
Can you render the outside of my house in Robin Hood?
We can, rendering is one of our core services alongside internal plastering. We'll advise on the right finish for your property type and the local weather exposure.
What's the difference between lime plaster and standard plaster?
Lime plaster is breathable and flexible, suited to older solid-wall construction, while standard gypsum plaster suits modern cavity-wall properties. Around Robin Hood we see a mix of both, so we assess each property individually.
Do you deal with damp issues in Robin Hood properties?
Yes, alongside plastering we offer damp proofing, including damp proof membranes, chemical treatments and replastering affected walls once the source of the damp has been addressed.
Can you skim over existing artex?
In many cases yes, if the artex is sound we can skim directly over it. If it's damaged or you'd prefer it fully removed, we can strip it back and re-board first.
Are cheaper materials used to keep costs down?
No, we use proper trade materials rather than cutting corners, it's the reason our finishes hold up well over time and come with a full guarantee.
How soon can you start work in Robin Hood?
It depends on our current workload, but we'll always give you a realistic start date when we quote. Call 01246 460 078 to check current availability.
Can you work alongside our builder on an extension?
We regularly work as part of a wider build team, coordinating with builders, electricians and other trades to plaster once first fix is complete.
Will render crack if it's applied in the wrong weather?
Applying render too fast in hot weather or in freezing conditions both increase the risk of cracking, which is why we work to the conditions rather than a fixed schedule.
