Frequently Asked Questions
Why does lime take longer?
Lime cures slowly by absorbing carbon dioxide, so each coat needs time before the next.
How much does lime plastering cost in Dublin?
Typically €1,000–€5,000. The exact price depends on access, the extent of the work and the materials needed.
How urgent is lime plastering?
Plan it, ideally in spring or autumn as lime cures slowly.
How long before I can paint new plaster?
A skim usually needs about a week to dry, longer in cold weather, and should look evenly pale. Use a diluted mist coat first.
Can new plaster go over old plaster?
If the old plaster is sound, it can be skimmed. Blown or loose plaster must be removed first.
What is blown plaster?
Plaster that has come away from the wall behind it. It sounds hollow when tapped and often cracks or bulges.
