A ceiling repair needs a sound base and a clear understanding of what caused the damage. Nova Coat assesses the affected area before repairing plaster and preparing the surface for decorating.

Repairs after a leak or damage

Any leak must be fixed and the ceiling allowed to dry before damaged plaster is closed over. The area is checked for loose material and the repair is planned to leave a sound surface.

Cracks and historic patches are assessed individually. Where the surrounding ceiling is unstable, a small patch may not be the right answer; the options are explained after inspection.

Preparation for painting

After repair, the ceiling is left to dry and prepared for the selected finish. The schedule depends on the surface and room conditions, and the work is not rushed to meet an arbitrary date.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you plaster over Artex?

It depends on the condition and age of the coating. Textured finishes are not sanded or disturbed until their safety has been checked. The surface is assessed before a suitable plastering method is discussed.

How long does skimming need to dry before painting?

Drying varies with thickness, the room, airflow and the surface behind the plaster. The finish is checked and the paint maker’s preparation guidance is followed rather than promising a fixed time.
