Plaster keys refer to the pieces of plaster that have managed to move through the gaps in the wooden lath and curl around the wood, plaster keys are important because it serves as the only bond that keeps plaster attached to the lath. Therefore, if plaster keys have eroded, then the plaster comes off, which causes the holes in the ceiling. Hence, plasterers in UK have to add new plaster keys, provided that components of the ceiling (such as the wooden lath) are in excellent condition. The team of plasterers, 1plasteringservices.co.uk, insert a bonding agent onto the lath, where the plaster has come off and then apply a liquid plaster mix to the exposed areas on the ceiling to add new plaster keys. While the liquid mix is still wet, plasterers will add layers of jute scrim across the back of the wooden lathe for extra reinforcement.

Cracks in walls and ceilings have to be fixed by plastering and skimming services company in UK, 1plasteringservices.co.uk, particularly cracks that widen due to changes in weather. These cracks can be fixed in the following steps:

  • The crack is then lightly sanded.

Similarly, if cracks are caused by structural problems then these issues must be addressed before the plaster can be repaired.
