Meet the team behind Get Plastered

Get Plastered Southwest Ltd is led by Nick Richardson, an experienced plasterer with more than 20 years in the trade. Nick and the team work throughout Torbay and South Devon on residential and commercial plastering and rendering projects.

We have worked alongside Nick for several years now from him working on his own to employing and training a number of staff.

When Nick was working alone he always left a good finish and a very clean site, what is even better to see is that all of his staff work in exactly the same manner, cleaning as they go, leaving the site spotless if Nick is on site or not and a brilliant finish to walls. This has been noticed by both myself and Marcus.

As sometimes happens in the building trade especially on renovations issues can arise meaning some delays or there are problems, Nick understands this, manages to accommodate any delays and deals with any problems that may arise.

We will continue to use Get Plastered Southwest Ltd on all of our projects and would not recommend anyone else to friends, family or customers.

Thank you, Nick, and to all the team at Get Plastered Southwest Ltd for your hard work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does plastering cost in Torquay and Torbay?

The cost of plastering depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing walls or ceilings and how much preparation is required. A small repair will cost less than skimming a full room or replastering several areas. Get Plastered Southwest Ltd provides free, no-obligation quotations for plastering projects across Torquay, Torbay and South Devon.

How long does it take to plaster a room?

Many standard rooms can be plastered within a day, although larger rooms, extensive preparation or repairs may take longer. The exact timescale depends on the condition of the surfaces and the amount of work involved. We will explain the expected schedule before starting your project.

How long should new plaster dry before painting?

New plaster usually needs several days to dry fully before it is painted. Drying time varies depending on the thickness of the plaster, room temperature, ventilation and humidity. The surface should normally be a consistent pale colour before decorating begins. We can advise you on drying times once your plastering work is complete.

Can you plaster over existing walls and ceilings?

Yes, in many cases existing walls and ceilings can be prepared and skimmed to create a smooth new surface. However, loose, damaged or unstable plaster may need repairing or removing first. Our plasterers will assess the existing surface and recommend the most suitable preparation before work begins.

Can you plaster over Artex?

It is sometimes possible to prepare and skim over Artex or another textured finish, depending on its condition and the material underneath. Older textured coatings can sometimes contain asbestos, so they should not be sanded, scraped or disturbed without appropriate assessment where there is any uncertainty. We can advise on the best approach for your property.

Do I need planning permission for plastering or rendering?

Internal plastering, skimming and most routine plaster repairs do not normally require planning permission. External rendering may also be carried out without planning permission in many cases, but restrictions can apply to listed buildings, properties in conservation areas and work that significantly changes the external appearance of a property. Building Regulations can also apply to larger rendering or replastering projects. For example, where 25% or more of an external wall is re-rendered, re-plastered or renovated, thermal insulation requirements may need to be considered. If you are unsure what applies to your property, it is best to check with your local planning authority before work begins.

Do you undertake small plaster repairs?

Yes. We undertake plastering work of all sizes, including small wall and ceiling repairs, damaged areas, cracks and patching as well as complete room renovations and larger projects. If you are unsure whether your repair is suitable, send us some details or photographs and we can advise on the next step.

Do you provide both plastering and rendering?

Yes. Get Plastered Southwest Ltd provides internal plastering and skimming as well as external rendering services. We work on residential and commercial properties and can advise on the most suitable finish depending on the type and condition of the property.
