Each repair is assessed individually so the correct method can be used.
Blown plaster is a common issue in York properties, particularly in older homes or where moisture has affected the wall over time.
Signs of blown plaster include:
In these cases, the damaged plaster is carefully removed back to a solid background before being properly prepared and re-plastered. Skimming over loose plaster without preparation almost always leads to failure.
Cracks in plaster can occur for a number of reasons, including building movement, thermal changes, or poor previous workmanship.
Our plaster repair process typically includes:
Assessing whether cracks are cosmetic or structural
Preparing and stabilising the affected area
Reinforcing where required
Applying the correct plaster system for a seamless finish
Once completed, the repaired area blends smoothly into the surrounding wall, ready for painting.
Water damage and damp often leave plaster contaminated with salts, staining, or softness that cannot simply be skimmed over.
Where plaster has been affected by damp or leaks, repairs may involve:
If damp is suspected, we’ll advise on the correct next steps before repairs are carried out, ensuring the problem does not return through the new finish.
