Fast local attendance across Craigentinny. Talk directly to the emergency plasterer who knows your area – no lengthy phone menus, no multiple callbacks, just quick professional service when damage occurs.
The multi-quote model that works for bathrooms or extensions falls apart during plaster emergencies. When water’s coming through or cracks appear suddenly, you need fast, direct access to a reliable tradesman – not several people competing for the work while damage worsens.
We’ve built a faster system.
Craigentinny has one trusted emergency plasterer assigned. When you need urgent repairs at your property, you contact them directly – and they respond quickly without platform delays or competitive quoting processes.
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.
Take a look at what we do below. If you think we’re a good match for your issue, get in touch. If not, no hard feelings – thanks for stopping by.
Emergency plastering for water-damaged ceilings and walls addresses urgent repair needs following plumbing failures, burst pipes, and overflow incidents. Professional services include rapid damage assessment, moisture content testing, controlled material removal, proper substrate drying, and expert restoration work that matches existing finishes. Fast response prevents secondary complications – electrical hazards, mould growth, structural weakening – while skilled workmanship ensures repairs remain durable and visually consistent.
Urgent plastering for furniture and impact damage addresses holes, dents, and surface breaks from accidental strikes, moving incidents, door collisions, or household accidents. Emergency repair services assess damage depth, prepare surrounding plaster properly, select appropriate materials, build up layers in controlled stages, and finish surfaces to match existing textures invisibly. Professional techniques prevent common failures – poor adhesion, shrinkage cracking, finish mismatches – that plague rushed or amateur repair attempts.
Structural movement plaster repairs cover urgent damage from subsidence, settlement, thermal cycling, or foundation shifts that cause cracks appearing across interior surfaces. Professional emergency services assess crack width, direction, and location to determine severity before completing appropriate restoration work. Skilled tradesmen understand which cracks indicate serious structural problems requiring surveyor involvement versus cosmetic damage needing only surface repair and monitoring.
Ceiling collapse repair and emergency plastering addresses urgent needs when plaster surfaces fail partially or completely, creating safety hazards and requiring immediate professional intervention. Emergency plasterers assess remaining ceiling stability, remove compromised sections carefully, investigate failure causes thoroughly, and complete expert restoration work. Proper repairs include substrate preparation, secure fixing systems, compatible materials, and finish techniques that prevent recurring delamination while restoring smooth, level ceiling surfaces.
Emergency repairs for damp-affected plaster address urgent situations where moisture damage causes surface blooming, material breakdown, and mould colonisation threatening interior conditions. Professional assessment determines damp types – rising damp from ground moisture, penetrating damp through building fabric, or condensation from ventilation inadequacies. Skilled emergency plasterers remove saturated sections safely, implement appropriate drying processes, and complete restoration using moisture-resistant materials and protective treatments that prevent future deterioration.

Response times depend on current workload and damage severity. Urgent situations – burst pipes, ceiling failures, dangerous sags – typically receive same-day or next-day attendance across Craigentinny. Less critical emergencies get scheduled within 2-3 days. Contact directly for accurate availability.
No call-out charges for emergency work. Pricing depends on actual repair requirements – extent of damage, materials needed, time involved. Straightforward pricing provided after on-site assessment. No hidden additions beyond costs explained and agreed initially.
Emergency repairs aim for invisible blending with existing surfaces. Skilled work involves matching surface texture, using appropriate materials, and applying finish techniques that make patches disappear into surrounding plasterwork. Professional repairs shouldn’t be visible once walls or ceilings receive decoration.
Surface damage is our focus – fundamental causes often need other tradespeople. Water ingress requires plumbing fixes, damp problems need specialist attention, structural movement needs surveyor involvement. We repair plasterwork quality while advising on addressing underlying issues to prevent recurrence.
Decoration timing depends on repair extent and environmental factors. Minor patches usually ready within 7-14 days, substantial repairs need 3-4 weeks, major work takes longer. Rushing decoration causes problems – paint defects, adhesion failures, moisture issues. Clear drying time advice follows completion of your specific repair.
