Whether you are renovating, refurbishing or redecorating your home it is always important to have smooth walls and ceilings to work with in order to achieve a great finished result. It is the top coat surface of plaster that gives a wall a smooth and workable surface for decorating, and like many things; the art is in the preparation. This is when you require the skills of a specialist plasterer to make sure that your surfaces are expertly plastered and hide any imperfections; especially if you are intending to have a painted finish.
