Our process
How we deliver it
Plaster check
We confirm the plaster is fully dry — painting too early traps moisture and ruins the finish.
Masking
Windows, sockets, floors and finished joinery are protected before any spraying starts.
Mist coat
A correctly diluted base coat is sprayed for deep, even absorption into the plaster.
Topcoats
Full-strength coats follow in your chosen colours for a uniform, durable finish.

Common questions
Mist Coats & New Plaster FAQs
Why can't I paint straight onto new plaster?
Fresh plaster is highly absorbent. Undiluted paint dries on the surface without bonding, then peels or flakes — a mist coat prevents that.
How long should plaster dry before painting?
Typically around four weeks depending on thickness, heating and ventilation — we check before we spray.
Why spray instead of roller?
Spraying gives faster, more even coverage on large new-build areas and a smoother base for topcoats.
Do you do whole new builds and extensions?
Yes — mist coats and full decoration for single extensions through to multi-unit developments.
