Frequently Asked QuestionsPlastering FAQs --------------- ### Do you only plaster after your own damp work? We most often plaster as part of our own remedial jobs, but we can also review follow-on plastering where suitable. ### Why does plaster need replacing after damp treatment? Contaminated or damaged plaster can retain salts and break down over time, so replacing it is often necessary for a durable finish. ### Can the room be decorated straight away? Usually no. Fresh plaster and remedial systems need the correct drying time before decoration.
