Plastering & Repairs in Wednesbury

Plaster repair in Wednesbury before decorating — cracks, blown patches, ceiling repairs and full skims. Sorted first, so the paint lasts.

Wednesbury has plenty of lath and plaster still up there, and plenty of walls that have been patched by four different people over fifty years. Painting over that is money spent twice. Getting it flat first is money spent once.

What's involved

Plastering & Repairs in Wednesbury, done properly

Cracks cut out and filled

Raked open, filled properly and feathered in, so they do not reopen through the paint.

Blown plaster patched

Hollow sections taken back to sound material and made good.

Lath and plaster ceilings

Patched or overboarded and skimmed, depending on what is actually left up there. We look before we quote.

Skimmed ready to paint

A full skim where the wall is past patching, left flat and ready for a proper finish.

Good to know

Plastering & Repairs — your questions

The ceiling is lath and plaster — can it be saved?

Sometimes. If it is sound and just cracked, it can be patched and skimmed. If it is sagging or has come away from the laths, overboarding is safer and often cheaper than repeated repairs. We look before quoting.

Can you just fill the cracks and paint over?

On a hairline crack, yes. On anything that has opened or sounds hollow, filling over buys months. We tap the wall and tell you which you have.

Do you do the decorating after?

Yes, and it is worth doing as one job. A skim needs to dry and take a mist coat before top coats, and we plan the timings around that.
