DIY Plastering: When to Call the Professionals

Plastering is a common task that many homeowners undertake to improve the appearance of their walls and ceilings. With the abundance of online tutorials and DIY guides available, it’s tempting to take on plastering as a do-it-yourself project. While DIY plastering can save you money and give you a sense of accomplishment, there are certain situations where it’s best to call the professionals.

Small Repair Jobs

If you have a minor crack or hole in your wall, DIY plastering can be a reasonable option. With the right tools and materials, you can easily patch up small areas and achieve satisfactory results. However, it’s crucial to ensure that you have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform the repair correctly. If you’re uncertain or lack experience, it’s better to err on the side of caution and consult a professional.

Large-scale Projects

When it comes to extensive plastering projects, such as covering an entire room or multiple rooms, it’s generally recommended to hire professionals. Professional plasterers have the expertise and equipment to handle large areas efficiently and deliver flawless results. They can ensure that the plaster is properly mixed, applied evenly, and finished to a high standard, saving you time and potential headaches.

Time Constraints

Plastering can be a time-consuming process, especially for beginners. If you have a tight schedule or need quick results, calling in professionals is the best choice. They have the experience to work efficiently and complete the job within a reasonable timeframe. By entrusting the task to professionals, you can focus on other priorities while knowing that the plastering will be done promptly and to a high standard.

While DIY plastering can be a rewarding endeavor, there are instances where it’s best to call the professionals. For small repairs, you can confidently tackle the project yourself with the right knowledge. However, for larger projects or structural issues, or if you have time constraints, it’s wise to seek the expertise of professional plasterers. Remember, investing in professional help can save you time, money, and ensure a beautiful, long-lasting finish for your walls and ceilings.

Richie, ROH Building

“We contracted Jamie and his team from Aspect Plastering on a new childcare build in Brassall and really enjoyed the experience. Jamie provided a competitive price, got the job done within programme and the quality of the work was very good. Jamie just did what he said he would do, which can be hard to come by these days.

Nothing is perfect on a building site and Jamie and his team were faced with many challenges throughout the project, but they just made it happen without complaining or blaming other trades. It was a pleasure working with Aspect Plastering and I look forward to doing many more childcare centres in the future with them.”
