Plastering
Damp re-plastering
Remove damaged plaster and reinstate walls using a specification matched to the diagnosed damp problem.
Why diagnosis matters
Treat the cause, then repair the damage
Re-plastering is part of a damp repair—not a substitute for it. We remove failed or contaminated material where required, prepare the background and use a compatible reinstatement system.

Common questions
About damp re-plastering
Can you plaster over damp?+
Not responsibly while the source remains active. The wall and specified system must be suitable first.
How disruptive is removal?+
It creates dust and debris, so we plan protection, waste handling and access before work.
When can I paint?+
After sufficient curing and drying using a finish compatible with the specification. We provide aftercare guidance.
