External Plastering

Paddy Kelly Plastering is an expert in all external plastering applications besides internal platering, producing numerous textures and finishes which may be tailor-made to your specifications and likings.

Plastering External Walls

External plastering or rendering, is an excellent solution for owners trying to change the appearance of their house. You can check out our page on Acrylic Plastering or Acrylic Rendering as an alternative option for information on external finishes. The plaster not only improves the aesthetics and look of your house but also assists to insulate your home – which drives down utility bills – and preventing damp or water from locating its way into your brickwork.

Plastering External Walls – Skud, Scratch and Finish Coat

The scud coat is essential as it acts as a key for the subsequent scratch coat when plastering external walls, making sure the integrity of the finished render. This coat is then paired with a scratcher to assist the adhesion of the next coat. Traditional renders should be applied in 2 coats. The first coat should not exceed 15mm thickness and the second coat should be 5-7mm.

Finish coat options include:

Nap Finish

Nap finish is a sand and cement finish for plastering external walls. The nap finish is implemented over three steps: scud, scratch and float. The very last coat in this finish is made from sand, cement and lime. Nap and sponge External plaster must be combined in the share of three or four components sand to at least one of cement.

Wet Dash Finish

Wet dashing is a traditional pebble dash approach. The pebble is pre-blended with cement and lime and forged onto a scratch lined wall. The pebble is sunk inside the combination and provided as a difficult textured finish. It is generally white or gray in appearance (relying at the cement used)

Dry Dash Finish

The dry dash finish, also known as the pebble dash, is traditionally chosen to provide a durable exterior facade especially good for heavily exposed areas. We are happy to take a look at your proposed work for an apraisel and price. Please use our contact page here.

Client Testimonials

We are delighted with the plastering work on our new house, completed by Paddy Kelly, Plasterer. The job entailed fitting air tightness film and slabbing and plastering of the interior. Our house was built from ICF, and therefore, in order to finish the exterior, the job involved using an acrylic plaster mix. Paddy was very helpful throughout the job and very reasonably priced. We feel we got excellent value for our money. All work was carried out to the highest standards and we are delighted with the finished product.
