Hi guys, first post here so hope I am doing this correctly.
Anyone near Broughton Gifford, Bath etc.?
Looking for someone to undertake labour only for internal lime plaster to a small lounge in a stone cottage in Broughton Gifford. Materials (already purchased), power and water will be provided free of charge.
The room dimensions measure approximately 7m x 4m and 2.3 m high, comprising approximately 45 m2 of wall measured over door and window openings. A Harl coat of lime plaster has already been completed.
The lime plaster is to be applied in 3 coats:
First scratch coat, 15 mm. The walls are ready and prepared for this. It is envisaged that this coat may be applied over a period of one or two days, and then needs to be left to dry out for a week.
Second levelling float coat, 10mm. This coat can only be applied after the first scratch coat has dried out, a week thereafter.
Third skim coat, 3 mm. This coat can only be applied after the second levelling coat has dried out, a week thereafter. This coat will be applied to the float lime coat plus a small area of plasterboard to columns, walls and a ceiling beam.
Materials provided free of charge:
15mm Scratch / 10mm Float / 3mm Skim
68 x 20 kg HAIRED Lime Mortar
45 x 20 kg UNHAIRED Lime Mortar (50/50)
15 x 19 kg Heritage Lime Plaster
