The work behind the finish
Sound preparation for a suitable plaster finish
The condition of the existing wall affects how it should be prepared. Loose material, damaged finishes and the underlying surface need to be considered before plastering begins.
Where damp or salt contamination is involved, the source of moisture and the appropriate reinstatement specification should be addressed before the wall is redecorated.

Preparation & reinstatement
Understanding the plastering process
The sequence below explains the general approach. The materials and extent of preparation depend on the wall condition and the agreed work.
Prepare the wall
Protect adjacent areas and prepare the substrate in line with the selected plaster system.
Apply the finish
Carry out the specified plaster or render reinstatement with attention to edges and junctions.
Allow for drying
Follow the relevant drying and redecoration guidance for the materials and conditions.
Before decorating: Drying times vary with the materials, wall construction and room conditions. Decoration should follow the advice supplied for the agreed finish.
Matching the repair to the wall
Plaster repairs after damp treatment
Fresh plaster alone does not resolve a moisture source. Where a wall has been affected by damp, treatment of the underlying defect and suitable preparation are part of the repair decision.
- Consider the condition of the existing plaster
- Identify any moisture or salt contamination
- Select a suitable reinstatement specification
- Allow for drying before decoration
