Extension Plastering Project Using Traditional Float & Set Technique

Extension Plastering Project Using Traditional Float & Set Technique

We’ve recently completed the plastering stage of an extension project in Dorset using a traditional float and set plastering technique to create strong, solid internal walls with a high-quality finish.

Unlike plasterboard and skim systems, float and set plastering is applied directly onto masonry surfaces using backing coats before being finished with a smooth top coat. This method takes more time and skill but delivers a more durable finish and the solid feel many homeowners prefer in extensions and renovation projects.

Works Completed

  • Preparation of all extension walls

  • Application of traditional float coats

  • Levelling and straightening for accurate finishes

  • Smooth set coat ready for decorating

Projects like this showcase the value of traditional plastering methods and the craftsmanship involved in achieving a clean, long-lasting result.
