Yelverton

Yelverton is a large village on the south-western edge of Dartmoor, Devon, in England. When Yelverton train station (on the Great Western Railway (GWR) line from Plymouth to Tavistock) opened up in the 19th century, the village came to be a prominent home for Plymouth commuters. The train is now closed, but the Plym Valley Railway has reopened a section of it. Yelverton is popular for Roborough Rock - a famous mass of stone near the Plymouth road on the edge of nearby Roborough Down, near the southern end of the landing strip. It provided its name to the Rock Hotel, developed as a farm during the Elizabethan period, however transformed in the 1850s to cater for growing tourist in the area. The area to the south as well as west of the roundabout at the centre of the village was cleared up in late Victorian as well as Edwardian times, with lots of grand and also extravagant rental properties. A location developed at about the same time on an odd shaped parcel to the south of the Tavistock road is known as Leg o' Mutton Corner. At the start of the Second World War, a landing strip (RAF Harrowbeer) was created at surrounding Harrowbeer as a competitor station for the air defence of Devonport Dockyard and the Western Approaches. A 19th century balcony of homes, currently mostly exchanged shops, needed to have its upper floor removed to give an easier technique. One tall building which was not changed was St. Paul's Church, but the tower was struck by an airplane, causing a caution light being fitted. The layout of the runways is still very clear and also although they are significantly grassed over, the many earth and brick protective shelters developed to safeguard the boxers from strike on the ground are all still in place. Some American airmen and anti-aircraft battery units were based below during the 2nd half of the battle. An aircraft lugging President Roosevelt landed right here when its original destination was fogbound.

FAQs

What types of plastering are there?

There are several different kinds of plastering. ‘Dot and dab’ refers to a base layer of plasterboard which is attached to a wall using ‘dabs’ of adhesive. ‘Floating’ is a technique where a backing or undercoat plaster is applied to walls. ‘Skimming’ or ‘reskimming’ refers to the very thin final decorative layer of plaster.

how much to plaster a room?

How Much To Plaster A Room?

Generally, the standard of plastering in older houses leaves a lot to be desired. Having settled for so many years, there is a lot of tendency that anything brittle will break or crumble with the movement. And this is exactly where plasters fall.

Plaster provides a wide range of functions in your home and as a result, has grown to become very popular amongst several homeowners. So if you want to plaster a room, you might just wish to estimate the cost so you can set a budget and start to plan. However, there’s no short and simple answer to this as the cost of plastering is based on a number of factors. These factors include the dimensions of the room, the accessibility of the surface, the condition of the existing plaster as well as the size of the company.

So if you want to paster your room, you can either remove the old plaster or skim a 3mm plaster coat over the existing one. In respect to the two options, the prices will also vary. However, several plastering experts will charge either on the average room size or a daily rate. This is due to the fact that they know approximately the number of area they can cover in a day’s work. You can, however, request a quotation which specifies the costs per square metre in order to allow you compare with other contractors. In reality, several plastering professionals use either small, medium or large sized room as the yard stick for providing a quote.

Generally, for a small sized room, you’ll have to pay about £600 to £700, a medium sized will cost within the range of £650 to £1000, while a large sized room will cost between the range of £1000 to £1500.

Can plaster cover Artex?

Plastering is suitable to cover most Artex. If it’s shallow Artex, it may be covered by skimming plaster on top. If the pattern of the Artex is too deep, you may need to use plasterboard to cover it or if you want to remove it entirely, you will need to use a wallpaper steamer.

can you plaster over tiles?

Can You Plaster Over Tiles?

Yes, it’s absolutely possible to plaster over tiles but just because is possible doesn’t mean you should. Plastering over tiles is an option but it’s not recommended by experts due to several reasons. A good example is the fact that a tiled environment is in no way a suitable environment that can serve as a good bonding surface for a plaster. For the success of a plastering project, there’s the need for the surface to be able to bond to the PVA base coat. Due to fact that most tiles are slippery in nature and also lack of the ability to be able to absorb moisture, the PVA base coat layer will not be able to bond to the tiled surface, which will ultimately make for a weak surface upon the application of the plaster. Consequently, the plaster will easily flake and fall from the wall.

The inability to drill into the tiled wall surface after plastering is one of the major disadvantages that also arises when you decide to plaster over tiled surfaces. Most tiled surfaces are found in kitchens and bathrooms which are going to need appliances such as sinks, lavatories, kitchen counters and lots more. These appliances are designed to be installed on solid surfaces which would not be an easy task to carry out on tiles knowing there would definitely be great cracks or damages.

The best tip you’ll get if you’re considering to plaster on a tiled surface, is that detaching tiles from a surface can easily be done with a hammer and chisel, and that would save you a host of problems later in the future. However, if you still wish to plaster on your tiled walls, then you best bet would be to get a Blue Grit bonding agent. It works better than PVA and only needs one coat.
