How long does patch plastering take to dry? +
Drying times in Birchington can vary depending on your property's specific conditions, but typically expect 2-5 days for a complete dry. Our coastal location near Herne Bay means humidity can impact drying - thicker patches in older Victorian or 1930s homes might take slightly longer. In well-ventilated modern properties, you could be looking at 48 hours. We recommend waiting at least 3-4 days before painting, especially in CT7 area properties where moisture levels can be unpredictable. Factors like room temperature, ventilation, and patch size all play a role. A small repair might dry faster, while a larger area could take up to a week. We always advise our Birchington clients to keep rooms warm and well-ventilated during the drying process. Pro tip for local homeowners: use a dehumidifier to speed up drying, particularly in those charming but sometimes damp coastal properties. Want precise advice for your specific repair?

Whether you're in a period Victorian villa with intricate original plasterwork or a 1930s semi with smooth modern walls, we've got the skills to create a seamless repair. Our technicians are experts at replicating everything from rough Artex finishes common in older CT7 properties to contemporary flat surfaces in newer builds.
