Plastering question

Question

Unfortunately I had a plasterer do a terrible job dry walls following a renovation.  I am bringing in another plasterer to put right who wants to do two further finishing plaster coats… should I be concerned about the weight on the ceiling of the plaster??

If its been a over skim ontop of artex then unfortunately I won't risk skiming again. You'll have to plasterboard over it. But if it's been skimmed over fresh boards then you'll be fine. Just two coats of pva then go again.

Alan · Answer

Plaster over concrete or masonry is referred to as a maximum thickness. Without lath, the maximum is 5/8-inch for walls and 1/8-inch for ceilings. Plaster may be applied thicker, if lath is used.

Hopefully the doggy plaster didn't put too much on ceelings and a thin finishing layer should be fine really as long as it's done by a experienced plasterer.
