Shelly Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 HI,As we can't seem to get on with the french plaster, I'm looking for a plasterer in 46. It's for an old house just to skim the walls etc. Also if they're are any joiners out there, I need some wardrobes making in a loft conversion. The artisans i've approached lately seemed to be booked up for ever. Of course it's August and a lot are on holiday. Any help will be great.Thanks Shelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeb Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 If you want to have a bash at plastering, try Lutece 2000L - it's easy to work with, doesn't dry out too quickly and is very forgiving. An English plasterer recommended it to us years ago - he used it for skimming.If you want artisans try www.artisananglais.com but as you say, it's the holidays, so you may not get anyone out to you for a while.

zeb Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hi - not very knowledgable I'm afraid, but yes, you can do a thick mix and fill with it then sand, or make a thinner mix and skim. We've rough plastered with it - over plasterboard, over stone walls, and filled up large gaps/holes with it. We've also skimmed with it. Make sure you buy 2000L as the working time is longer.
