What We Fix

Newcastle properties face common plastering problems that affect appearance and structure.

Cracked Walls

Wall cracks develop from settlement, temperature changes, and age. Hairline cracks need filling and skimming, while wider structural cracks require proper investigation before repair. We assess the cause, fix the underlying issue, and restore the wall surface.

Damaged Ceilings

Ceiling damage ranges from small cracks to sagging plaster and water staining. Modern plasterboard ceilings need different repairs than traditional lath-and-plaster found in older Newcastle properties. Our plasterers identify the ceiling type and use appropriate techniques.

Blown Plaster

Plaster that’s lost adhesion sounds hollow when tapped and eventually falls away. Common in Victorian and Edwardian homes across Heaton and Jesmond, blown plaster needs removing back to solid material before re-plastering.

Damaged Coving

Coving adds character to period properties but cracks and chips over time. We repair existing coving to match original profiles or install new coving in traditional or contemporary styles.

Small Repairs & Patch Work

Not every plastering job needs a full room. We handle small repairs throughout Newcastle—fixing holes from removed fixtures, repairing cracks, or patching damaged sections.

Patch repairs blend seamlessly when done properly. We match existing textures and feather edges so repaired areas disappear once painted. Many customers combine patch repairs with our interior painting services for a complete finish, ensuring walls look perfect before applying fresh paint.

Small jobs matter. A neat patch repair in your Gosforth living room or fixed bedroom ceiling in Ponteland makes spaces look cared for without the cost of re-plastering entire rooms. Proper wall preparation is essential for quality wall painting, and we ensure surfaces are smooth and ready for decoration.

Complete Room Plastering

Full room re-skims create perfectly smooth walls and ceilings ready for decoration.

When You Need a Full Re-Skim

Multiple cracks, dated textured finishes, or poor previous work often mean re-skimming makes more sense than endless patch repairs. We remove old plaster where necessary, install new plasterboard if required, and apply fresh skim coats for a flawless result.

Our Process

Strip back damaged plaster to solid substrate
Repair any underlying issues (damp, loose blockwork)
Install plasterboard on walls or ceilings where needed
Apply base coats and finishing skim
Clean the workspace thoroughly

Re-skimmed rooms need 2-3 days drying before painting. We coordinate with your timeline, whether you’re renovating before moving in or updating one room at a time. Many homeowners pair complete plastering with our bedroom painting or living room painting services for a total room transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does plastering cost in Newcastle?

Small patch repairs start around £80-£150+, while full room re-skims typically cost £400-£800+ depending on room size and condition. We provide exact quotes after viewing your specific requirements.

How long does plaster take to dry?

Fresh plaster needs 2-3 days to dry sufficiently for mist coating, then another day before full painting. Drying time depends on room temperature, ventilation, and plaster thickness. We’ll advise on timing for your specific project.

Can you match existing plaster textures?

Yes. For patch repairs, we match surrounding textures so repairs blend invisibly. For full rooms, we create smooth modern finishes or replicate period textures depending on your preference.

Should I repair or re-plaster?

If damage covers less than 30% of wall area and existing plaster is sound, patch repairs work well. Extensive cracking, blown plaster, or poor previous work usually means re-plastering makes better sense. We’ll recommend the most cost-effective approach after viewing.

Do you repair coving?

Yes. We repair damaged coving, replace missing sections to match existing profiles, or install new coving in traditional or contemporary styles throughout Newcastle properties.

What causes plaster to crack?

Settlement, temperature changes, moisture movement, and structural issues all cause cracking. Hairline cracks are usually cosmetic, while wider or recurring cracks may indicate underlying problems. We assess causes before recommending repairs.

Can you plaster over artex?

Yes. We either skim directly over artex (if firmly attached) or remove it completely before plastering. Removal costs more but creates a better long-term result, especially for heavily textured artex.

How do you prepare rooms before plastering?

We protect floors with dust sheets, cover furniture or recommend clearing rooms, mask fixtures, and ensure good ventilation. For re-skims, we strip back loose material and repair any underlying issues before starting.

Can you fix damp walls before plastering?

We identify damp causes—leaking gutters, penetrating moisture, condensation—and recommend solutions. Plastering over damp walls fails quickly, so we ensure walls are dry and any moisture issues are resolved first.
