Renovating a home can be an exciting yet daunting process, and Rebecca in Evesham is currently in the midst of transforming her property into a fresh, modern space. To begin her renovation journey, she called on the expertise of Cooper Plastering to address a few key areas in her spare bedroom, ensuring a smooth, high-quality finish ready for decorating.

Transforming the Spare Bedroom Ceiling & Walls

One of the major tasks involved in this project was dealing with the dated Artex ceiling. Artex, while popular in previous decades, is often removed or skimmed over in modern renovations for a sleeker, more contemporary look. The process required meticulous preparation and skill to ensure a flawless end result.

The Process: Skimming Over an Artex Ceiling

1. Preparing the Ceiling: The first step was to remove any high spots from the existing Artex texture. This ensures a more even surface for the skim coat to adhere to.
2. Crack and Join Reinforcement: Any visible cracks and plasterboard joins were taped to prevent future movement and ensure a stable, long-lasting finish.
3. Applying PVA Adhesion Coat: To ensure proper bonding between the existing surface and the new plaster, a layer of PVA was applied and left to become tacky.
4. Two-Coat Plaster Application: Once the PVA was ready, we applied two coats of Gypsum Multifinish plaster. The first coat was used to level out any inconsistencies, while the second coat provided a smooth, polished finish.
5. Final Smoothing & Polishing: Using specialist trowels, we carefully polished the plaster to achieve a perfectly flat and smooth ceiling, ready for painting once dry.

Repairing Wall Damage & Enhancing Aesthetics

Alongside the ceiling, we also tackled several problem areas on the walls:

• Holes Around Plug Sockets: Over time, electrical work and wall-mounted fixtures can leave unsightly holes. In Rebecca’s case, there were gaps around a plug socket that required careful filling and smoothing.
• Large Raw Plug Holes: A previously mounted mirror had left behind large holes where the raw plugs were inserted. We removed any loose debris, filled the holes with bonding material, and skimmed over them to seamlessly blend with the surrounding wall.
• Window Frame & Garden-Facing Wall: To achieve crisp, clean lines around the window frame, we installed metal beading, ensuring sharp, defined edges. The entire garden-facing wall was also skimmed to create a uniform, fresh appearance.

Completed in One Day for Maximum Convenience

One of the standout aspects of this job was our ability to complete all the work in just one day. Other plasterers had quoted Rebecca a two-day timeframe, but our efficient approach and experienced team allowed us to deliver the same high-quality result with minimal disruption. This meant Rebecca could continue with her renovation plans without unnecessary delays.

Rebecca’s Testimonial

“Cooper Plastering did a fantastic job in my spare bedroom. They were prompt, tidy, and extremely professional from start to finish. The team explained everything they were doing, which gave me confidence in the process. The work was completed in one day rather than the two that others had quoted, meaning less disruption for me. The pricing was very affordable, and I would highly recommend them. I will definitely be using them again!” – Rebecca, Evesham
