Restoring Charm: Renovating Period Walls in Barford with Cooper Plastering Barford, near Warwick, is a village steeped in history, with beautiful period properties that exude character and charm. However, maintaining these older homes often comes with challenges, particularly when it comes to aging plasterwork. At Cooper Plastering, we specialize in restoring and renovating old walls to their former glory. Whether dealing with blown plaster or outdated finishes, our expert team knows how to carefully remove the old and replace it with a fresh, smooth surface that complements the character of your period property. The Challenge of Old Plaster In many period homes, walls can show their age. Cracks, crumbling sections, or areas of “blown plaster” (where the plaster has detached from the underlying wall) are common. Not only do these issues affect the aesthetics of your home, but they can also lead to more significant problems if left untreated. Our Process for Restoring Period Walls At Cooper Plastering, we use a tried-and-tested process to address these issues while preserving the integrity and charm of your property: Assessment and Preparation We carefully inspect the walls to identify areas of blown plaster or damage. Damaged sections are marked for removal, ensuring that only the necessary areas are addressed to maintain the structure’s original integrity. Removing Old Plaster The damaged plaster is removed with care, minimizing dust and debris to keep your home tidy. We tidy up the area, leaving a clean, solid surface ready for the next steps. Sealing with PVA A layer of PVA is applied to the exposed surface. This seals the wall and creates a strong bond between the old and new materials, ensuring the longevity of the repair. Filling with Bonding Compound We fill deeper sections with a high-quality bonding compound, creating a level surface that’s ready for finishing. This step ensures a sturdy base, particularly in older homes where walls may be uneven. Skimming with Multifinish A final layer of multifinish plaster is applied, leaving a perfectly smooth and flat surface. Once dry, the wall is ready for painting or decorating, providing a fresh, modern look while respecting the home’s heritage.
