Materials, tools and preparation
Quality repair uses dedicated materials: fillers (cement, gypsum, acrylic, ready-made), primers (e.g. Tikkurila Valtti, Kiilto Primer ~0.1–0.2 l/m²), reinforcement mesh and corner beads, plus tools: trowels, rollers, sander, drill, vacuum, level and plumb.

Material consumption per 1 m² wall (guide)
After the work the specialist will remove bags and debris. Old plaster is disposed of as construction waste.
.webp&w=3840&q=75)
| Material | Amount per 1 m² | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Filler | ~1.5–2.0 kg/mm thickness | e.g. 1 mm layer ≈ 1.5 kg |
| Primer | ~0.15 l | One layer |
| Reinforcement mesh | ~0.1 m | Cracks/joints |
| Corner bead | ~0.05 pcs | ≈1 per 20 m² |
Choosing and buying materials
You can buy everything yourself or leave it to the specialist. Practical options: you buy wallpaper/paint, specialist buys «chemistry» (Kiilto, Casco, Weber). Or specialist buys to estimate. For ~10 m² wall: ≈30–40 kg filler, ≈1–2 l primer. Local brands (Kiilto, Tuulilasi, Finnbuild) can save cost.
Quality control and guarantee
Agree the guarantee period in the order. E.g. «Guarantee on wall repair – __ days from handover. Covers peeling, cracks, bubbles.» Take photos after drying. Work payment is not processed through Tyoon. Standards require: surface clean, dry and sound before filler.
Pricing and payment
You set the budget – either price per m² or wait for offers. Work payment is not processed through Tyoon: parties settle after acceptance.
Safety and specifics
- Moisture and mould. If the wall is damp or has mould, state this in the request. The specialist will apply antiseptic treatment. Finnish norms require dry walls (<90 % RH) before filler.
- Ventilation. After filler and paint, ventilate well – especially in winter.
Checklist before the specialist arrives
- Clear furniture from walls and remove appliances.
- Ensure water and power are available.
- Provide the specialist with wallpaper/paint if you bought it.
- Prepare photos of wall defects.

FAQ
Can I buy materials myself and only pay for the work?
Yes. State this when placing the order. The specialist will check that the chosen product suits your case (e.g. for reinforcing drywall joints).
How long does filler take to dry?
Depends on the product: gypsum ~1–2 h/mm, cement 12–24 h, ready mix up to 24 h. Always allow the first layer to dry fully before sanding or applying the next.
What wall work is not included in standard repair?
Usually wallpapering or complex finishes (e.g. decorative plaster) are not included. Exterior facade work and damp-proofing are done separately.
Why do I see small «dents» after the finish?
If the specialist missed spots or applied too thin a layer, unevenness shows in the light. They are fixed before painting. We recommend checking walls in daylight on the acceptance day.
