Large rooms need consistent plastering
Banstead housing is mostly 1930s onwards detached and semi-detached, plus newer executive homes and bungalows. Ceilings are often high and wall runs long, so flatness has to hold across the whole surface rather than just look right in the middle. That is a question of setting out and working the plaster at the right stage rather than any special material.
Bungalows and 1960s–1970s properties across Banstead also carry a lot of textured coating. Where it is sound it can be prepared and skimmed flat, which is far less disruptive than removal — and coatings from before 2000 should never be sanded or dry-scraped because of the asbestos risk.
