Inspect the old wall before promising a plaster date

In renovation work, the substrate determines preparation, material and schedule. The plastering desk keeps job notes, measurements, plaster type, material estimate, quotation and weekly plan together; the craftsperson decides on site whether the wall is ready.

  1. Record the condition first

    Note stains, loose render and existing layers on the job. Software cannot diagnose moisture or soundness.

  2. Turn measures into a material check

    Area, plaster type and coat thickness inform the estimate; openings and actual product consumption still need review.

  3. Explain the sequence

    Estimate, quote, weekly schedule and drying record help show preparation, application and follow-on work in order.

How Sektura helps with everyday work

A stained wall beside an old window

Example: A homeowner asks to re-plaster an interior wall of roughly 18 square metres. A dark patch sits beside the window and some old plaster sounds hollow.

  1. Inspect the substrate

    The plasterer checks the loose section and possible moisture source, records what was found and avoids promising immediate coating.

  2. Measure the net area

    They measure the wall and window opening, enter the area to be treated and choose a suitable system only after inspection.

  3. Discuss the work sequence

    They review material and labour assumptions, then arrange preparation, plaster and a product-dependent drying interval in the quote and plan.

The homeowner can see what the estimate covers. Any further investigation or drying is agreed after a site assessment.

Getting started is simple

How it works

  1. Set up a sample job

    Use a fictional homeowner, interior wall, address and note that the substrate still needs review.

  2. Try the measurement

    Enter plausible wall and window measures, select plaster and coat depth, then compare bag count with the product sheet.

  3. Walk through the schedule

    Draft a sample quote and plan preparation, application and a check before the next trade.

Questions before you start

Does the desk detect damp or mould?
No. A qualified person assesses the wall and finds the cause; a note or image is not a diagnosis.
Is the calculated bag count my purchase order?
No. Waste, substrate, actual thickness and manufacturer consumption must be checked against the site.
Does a drying entry guarantee the next start date?
No. Product, depth, temperature and humidity affect drying; the team checks the wall and product instructions.

Before work starts

Investigate suspected damp or problematic older coatings and check applicable local rules and product requirements.
