Transforming a Landing: Doorway Removal and Plastering in Welford on Avon

At Cooper Plastering, we take pride in transforming homes with high-quality plastering solutions that blend seamlessly with existing interiors. Recently, we were called to a home in Welford on Avon to help a homeowner make some significant alterations to their landing. The task? To remove and fill in an unused doorway, creating a smooth, uninterrupted wall that would enhance the space and provide a more cohesive layout.

The Project Scope

The homeowner decided that an old doorway on their landing was no longer needed. Whether for design purposes or practicality, sealing off the doorway would improve the flow of the home while also providing additional wall space for furniture, artwork, or lighting features.

Our role was to ensure that the doorway was properly framed, boarded, and plastered so that once painted, no one would ever know a door had existed there before. This required precision and expert craftsmanship to achieve a completely seamless finish.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Preparing the Area
To begin, we carefully assessed the doorway to determine the best approach for removal. Protective coverings were laid down to safeguard flooring and nearby surfaces from dust and debris. As with all our projects, cleanliness and tidiness were a top priority.

2. Installing the Frame and Boarding
To create a strong and stable base for plastering, we constructed a wooden framework within the doorway space. This framework was securely fixed into place, ensuring that there would be no movement or settling over time. Once the framework was complete, we attached high-quality plasterboard to cover the opening, aligning it perfectly with the surrounding wall for a uniform appearance.

3. Applying the Plaster
With the framework and plasterboard in place, we moved on to the plastering process. The newly boarded area was prepped with PVA bonding to ensure a strong adhesion for the plaster. We then applied two coats of high-quality multifinish plaster, carefully smoothing and blending it into the surrounding wall to create an even, flawless surface.

4. Finishing Touches
After skimming, we polished the surface to perfection, ensuring it was ready for painting once fully dried. The entire process was completed in just one day, leaving the homeowner with a pristine, newly transformed landing wall that looked as though it had always been that way.
