New Build Decorating FAQs — Hackleton
Why does new plaster need a mist coat?
New plaster is very porous and will absorb full-strength emulsion unevenly, leading to patchy results and poor adhesion. A mist coat — a diluted emulsion — seals the plaster and gives subsequent full-strength coats a consistent, stable surface to bond to.
How long does new plaster need to dry before decorating?
As a general guide, allow at least four weeks for plaster to dry fully, though thickness, ventilation and the time of year all affect this. We can assess the plaster on our visit using a moisture meter to confirm it's ready.
Can you work directly with developers on new build sites?
Yes — we regularly work with developers and housing contractors across the Northampton and Milton Keynes area. We can accommodate site access requirements and provide phased decoration packages to suit construction timelines.
