Replastering dos and donts

Posted by Leo B, on
Do I need to remove woodwork to re plaster a wall? Should I go for old style plaster or dot and dab? Stone tenement ground floor flat. Plaster removed to get internal brickwork dry after leak from upstairs neighbours. Some areas are up to 35mm plaster

It's best to remove any skirting or architrave then it's down to the owner traditional plastering will be solid but take weeks to dry , dot & dab & skim take 3 days to dry G, branch plastering
