Building Repairs

Repair of cracked, damp-damaged and deteriorating plaster and wall surfaces, restoring a sound, finished surface ready for decoration.

Illustrative image

Cracked, hollow or damp-stained plaster makes a building look neglected and, if left alone, usually gets worse. We remove damaged material, repair the surface and refinish it — using water-resistant materials where moisture played a part.

Our repair work focuses on plaster, screed and surface finishes. If we see signs of structural movement — for example, wide or growing cracks through blockwork — we will tell you and recommend that a qualified structural engineer assesses the building before any finishing work.

Where it is used

  • Cracked plaster and render
  • Peeling or damp-stained walls

Questions

Do you carry out structural repairs?

Our repair work covers plaster, screed and surface finishes. Where there are signs of structural problems, we recommend an assessment by a qualified structural engineer first.

Can you match the existing finish?

We aim to blend repairs with the surrounding surface; a full repaint of the wall usually gives the most even result.
