There’s a reason we remove sockets and switches before plastering.

Plastering around them might save a few minutes, but it can leave you with uneven edges, poor lines and a finish that simply doesn’t look right.

On this job, I’ve actually been brought in to correct work completed by a previous plasterer — and this is a perfect example of what can happen when the small details are overlooked.

Taking sockets and switches off properly allows us to plaster cleanly behind them and leave everything straight, neat and perpendicular when they’re refitted.

It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference to the finished result.

At Lockyer Plastering, we care about the details because the finish matters.

Thinking of having a room plastered? A little preparation beforehand can make a big difference to the finished result.

In this reel I’m sharing a few simple tips for homeowners — from getting the room ready, to knowing what’s included in the quote, letting fresh plaster dry properly, and making sure it’s prepared correctly before painting.

Good plastering isn’t just about getting a smooth finish. It’s about preparation, attention to detail and leaving the room ready for the next stage.

A good plastering job starts long before the final skim goes on.

On this wall, I’m embedding reinforcing mesh into the bonding coat before plastering, helping strengthen the background and reduce the risk of future cracking.

At Lockyear Plastering, I’m not interested in quick fixes or simply making a wall look good for the day. The preparation underneath matters just as much as the finish you can see.

Every wall is assessed properly, prepared properly and plastered with the aim of giving you a solid, long-lasting finish.

Most plastering problems don’t start with the plaster.

They start with what’s underneath.

That’s why I ask plenty of questions before I quote. A leak, movement, poor preparation or previous repairs can completely change how a job should be approached.

Anyone can make a wall look smooth on the day.

The real skill is understanding what’s behind the surface, so the finish lasts for years—not just until the paint dries.

If you’re planning any plastering work, don’t be afraid to ask your tradesman why they’re recommending a particular solution. A good tradesman will always be happy to explain.

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when hiring a plasterer isn’t choosing the wrong plasterer… it’s choosing the cheapest one.

Now, don’t get me wrong – price matters. But if someone doesn’t turn up, doesn’t communicate, leaves a mess, or the work needs redoing a few months later, was it really the cheapest option?

My advice is simple:

✔️ Get a few quotes
✔️ Read the reviews
✔️ Look at previous work
✔️ Choose the person you trust most

Your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. It deserves quality workmanship and someone who genuinely cares about the end result.

I’ve built Lockyear Plastering on reliability, communication, and treating every home with the respect it deserves.

Most homeowners don’t actually worry about the plastering…
They worry about the tradesman.

Will they turn up?
Will they communicate properly?
Will they respect the home?

That’s why at Lockyear Plastering I believe good workmanship starts long before the plaster goes on the wall.

Clear communication.
Clean, respectful work.
And a finish built to last.

If you’re thinking about having plastering done, here are 3 red flags to watch out for before hiring a plasterer 👊🏻

🔥 Another one in progress for a client in this crazy heat!

29 degree weather outside… probably feels closer to 40 degrees inside this room 🥵☀️
But the standard stays the same.

No rushing.
No cutting corners.
No excuses.

Just turning up, putting the graft in, and getting the job done properly 👊🏻

I take pride in protecting clients’ homes, keeping things tidy, and delivering a finish that lasts. Even when the heat is brutal, the mission doesn’t change — the client comes first and I won’t let people down.

The difference is in the details 💯
