My newly plastered walls have some small cracks in them. Is this normal?

Unfortunately even with the best preparation, sometimes new walls can still crack. There can be several reasons why this can happen, most commonly it is due to plaster drying out too quickly before it can fully cure. I.e. heating in the home is too high too soon.

Depending on the work carried out, it would usually take around one week for the plaster to dry. During the work, the skim finish will be light pink, within three to four hours this turn a deep brown colour as the plaster cures. As it begins to dry, it returns to a very light pink colour, as this happens it will be obvious it is beginning to dry. You should wait for the entire area to be light pink before decoration.

This depends on the extent of the damage, it’s possible to have the water damaged area cut out and repaired but the location and amount of damage would need to be taken in to account.

Ideally, the area or room to be plastered should be clear of furniture as much as possible. This allows us to protect the floors with dust sheets and carpet protector so that when we are finished the room is as clean as when we arrive.

We would need access to clean mixing water from a tap and power for our mixing equipment. We do have a portable generator, but these are impractical to use in a domestic plastering setting
