Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permission to work on period plasterwork?
On protected structures, yes. Check with your council's conservation officer before work starts.
How much does period plasterwork restoration cost in Dublin?
Typically €3,000–€15,000, depending on the size of the property, access and specification.
How do I choose a contractor for period plasterwork restoration?
Get at least two itemised written quotes, ask to see recent similar work, and check registrations, insurance and guarantees.
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?
