Urgent plastering work shouldn’t involve posting a job online and managing calls from several different people. When sudden damage happens, you need immediate contact with someone who can actually attend – not a drawn-out selection process.
We do things differently.
Aykley Heads has one dedicated emergency plasterer. When damage strikes your property, you contact them directly – and that’s who turns up to assess and fix the problem. Simple, fast, reliable.
Emergency damage presents in multiple forms. Water ingress creates specific challenges, accidental impacts need immediate patching, and structural movement demands careful assessment – each situation benefits from appropriate professional response.

Flood damage and burst pipe plastering demands immediate professional attention before secondary problems escalate costs dramatically. Water-saturated ceilings develop dangerous sags, walls lose structural adhesion, and hidden moisture creates ideal conditions for mould development and timber decay. Emergency plasterers work systematically – assess, contain, dry, restore – ensuring damaged surfaces receive proper treatment that prevents future failures while maintaining visual consistency with existing finishes.
Hole repair plastering services address urgent damage from accidental impacts, furniture moves, DIY mishaps, or structural work that’s left walls and ceilings exposed. Skilled emergency plasterers prepare damaged edges carefully, build up layers properly, and finish surfaces to blend seamlessly with surrounding plasterwork. Professional techniques ensure patches bond securely, dry without cracking, and remain invisible once decorated – avoiding the obvious repair marks that amateur patching creates.
Building movement crack plastering addresses urgent damage from settlement, subsidence, thermal cycling, or structural shifts creating visible fractures across walls and ceilings. Experienced emergency services distinguish between harmless cracks needing simple repair and serious structural warnings requiring surveyor involvement. Professional restoration work uses flexible materials and proper techniques that accommodate natural building movement without failing, cracking, or reopening months after completion.
Ceiling collapse prevention and repair requires urgent plastering expertise when surfaces show sagging, bulging, or delamination warning signs. Professional assessment determines whether ceilings need immediate removal, temporary support, or careful monitoring before restoration begins. Emergency plasterers understand failure mechanisms – water damage, lath deterioration, inadequate fixing, joist movement – and complete appropriate repairs that address underlying causes while restoring safe, level ceiling surfaces.
Moisture damage plastering and mould remediation covers urgent repairs when damp penetration causes plaster failure, surface blooming, and fungal growth threatening health and property condition. Professional emergency services assess moisture extent using specialist equipment, determine damp sources accurately, and complete comprehensive repairs that address both visible damage and underlying causes. Experienced plasterers remove affected material safely, implement controlled drying, and restore surfaces using moisture-resistant systems that prevent recurrence.
