The big trade platforms work well for routine jobs, but emergencies expose their limitations. When your ceiling’s sagging or a wall’s cracked badly, you don’t want to spend hours managing callbacks. You need direct contact with someone who responds fast.

New Town 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.
Plaster emergencies range from minor localised damage to extensive failures affecting multiple rooms. Small ceiling patches differ from major wall restoration, and each situation needs professional evaluation to determine proper repair scope and methods.
Have a look through what we do below. If it matches your damage, contact us and we’ll sort it quickly. If it’s not quite right, no problem – thanks for checking.
Emergency plaster repairs following plumbing failures address both visible damage and hidden moisture complications that threaten property integrity. Water ingress affects plaster adhesion, substrate soundness, and finish stability – problems that worsen rapidly without professional intervention. Skilled tradesmen respond quickly to assess damage extent, contain moisture spread, remove saturated sections safely, and complete restoration work that matches original surfaces throughout affected rooms.
Emergency hole patching and impact repairs require skilled plastering techniques that create durable, invisible restorations. Successful patches depend on proper edge preparation, substrate soundness, material compatibility, and finish matching – factors that separate professional work from obvious amateur repairs. Experienced emergency plasterers assess damage accurately, prepare surfaces correctly, build up repair material properly, and blend finishes seamlessly with surrounding plasterwork.
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.
Sagging ceiling restoration and emergency repairs require skilled plastering expertise when surfaces exhibit bowing, bulging, or visible separation from substrates. Ceiling failures demand careful assessment before intervention – testing soundness, identifying causes, planning safe removal that prevents sudden collapse. Emergency plasterers work methodically to remove compromised sections, prepare substrates thoroughly, apply proper fixing methods, and restore level ceiling surfaces that remain stable long-term.
Mould remediation and emergency plastering covers urgent situations where moisture problems create extensive fungal growth, plaster breakdown, and health hazards throughout properties. Damp-saturated plaster supports mould colonisation, salts destroy decoration repeatedly, and persistent moisture undermines any standard repair attempts. Professional emergency services remove contaminated material safely, treat affected areas properly, implement drying systems, and restore surfaces using moisture-resistant renders and breathable finishes that prevent mould recurrence.

Dominant housing types within New Town are tenement flats and modern apartments, typically featuring 2.4m to 2.7m (7.9ft – 8.9ft) ceiling heights. Years plastering these exact building types teaches you their characteristics – how materials perform and what approaches work best.
Calls and forms go directly to your area’s plasterer – not a central office or call handler. You communicate straight away with the person who’ll attend your property and carry out the plastering work.
The plasterer establishes what’s required, discusses property specifics, and arranges appropriate timing. Urgent situations receive prioritised attendance, while planned work gets convenient scheduling for detailed site evaluation and accurate cost estimation.
Site visits involve complete assessment – checking existing surfaces, measuring work areas, discussing options, addressing concerns. Evaluation typically takes 20-30 minutes for standard jobs. You get clear cost information and honest timeframe estimates before committing.
Jobs proceed to agreed quality – proper prep stages, skilled workmanship, tidy working methods throughout. Protection covers surrounding spaces, and comprehensive cleanup follows completion. Straightforward advice addresses drying periods, painting timing, and looking after fresh plasterwork.
Visitors generally ask the same basics on arrival – how the setup operates, if we cover their location, and how to make contact. Direct answers below, nothing complicated.
Emergency response varies with damage type and schedule capacity. Dangerous situations like flooding or ceiling delamination usually get same-day attendance throughout New Town. Less urgent repairs generally schedule within 48 hours. Contact for realistic timing regarding your specific circumstances.
Emergency attendance carries no call-out fee. Repairs get priced according to real needs – damage severity, material requirements, labour duration. Clear quotes follow site evaluation. No surprise fees beyond agreed costs established and confirmed beforehand.
Yes – seamless matching with existing finishes is expected practice. Emergency repairs include texture assessment, material compatibility, and blending techniques that make patches disappear into surrounding plasterwork. Professional work shouldn’t reveal repair locations once surfaces get decorated.
Emergency plastering handles surface damage – underlying problems typically need different specialists. Plumbing issues require plumbers, moisture problems need damp experts, structural concerns need surveyor assessment. We repair plasterwork quality but recommend addressing root causes to prevent recurring complications.
Decoration timing depends on repair extent and environmental factors. Minor work usually dry within 2 weeks, substantial repairs need 3 weeks, major work takes longer. Premature finishing creates issues – paint defects, wallpaper failures, persistent moisture. Specific drying advice follows completion of your particular repair.
