- Sanding woodwork and walls
- Priming new plaster and bare wood
- Sealing stains and new plaster
- Repairs after other trades

In Stoke-on-Trent
Older houses can have blown plaster, old damp stains and lead in early paint layers on woodwork. Each needs the right preparation, not just a fresh coat on top.
Questions
Good to know
Is preparation included in the price?
The preparation a surface needs is assessed before pricing, so it is part of the job rather than an extra found later.
I have new plaster. When can it be painted?
Fresh plaster needs to dry fully first. Tell Blade when it was done and he’ll advise.
