Urgent damage takes many forms. Water saturation needs controlled drying, impact holes require immediate filling, and stress cracks demand structural assessment – understanding the damage type helps determine correct repair approaches.

Urgent ceiling and wall repairs after pipe bursts require emergency plastering services that understand water damage behaviour and proper restoration techniques. Saturated plaster continues deteriorating long after visible leaking stops – adhesion weakens, surfaces crack during drying, and hidden moisture causes secondary damage. Experienced tradesmen assess problems thoroughly, remove compromised sections completely, manage drying processes carefully, and restore surfaces to original condition using proven methods.
Emergency repairs for accidental plaster holes cover damage from door handle impacts, furniture movements, shelf installations, and household mishaps. Professional services include accurate damage assessment, thorough edge preparation, proper material selection, controlled application techniques, and careful finish blending that makes repairs disappear completely. Fast response prevents moisture ingress, edge deterioration, or small damage expanding into costly larger repairs requiring complete wall section replacement.
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 delamination emergency plastering covers urgent repairs when plaster surfaces separate from lath or plasterboard, creating visible bulges and serious collapse risks. Professional assessment determines failure extent and underlying causes before restoration begins. Emergency plasterers remove compromised sections safely, address moisture problems or structural issues causing delamination, and rebuild ceilings using proper adhesion techniques and adequate fixing that ensure long-term stability throughout affected rooms.
Damp plaster emergency removal and restoration demands immediate attention when moisture saturation causes surface deterioration, salt efflorescence, and mould growth across walls and ceilings. Rising damp, condensation problems, and penetrating moisture create conditions where standard plastering fails rapidly without proper preparation and moisture management. Emergency plasterers assess damp severity, remove compromised material completely, address moisture sources where possible, and rebuild surfaces using salt-inhibiting renders and breathable finish systems.
Why select us? You make the call. Here’s the clear information on our work and local knowledge throughout Old Town.
We’ve worked across Old Town for years – from St Pauls Church through to Edinburgh Old Town Sports Centre and over to Edinburgh Old Town Terrace. That experience means understanding local homes properly – how plaster behaves in these properties, recognising typical problems fast, and sorting them correctly.
We sort urgent damage throughout Old Town – water-damaged ceilings and walls, accidental holes, sudden structural cracks, failing plaster sections, and damp deterioration. Quick response, thorough evaluation, and quality repairs matching existing finishes invisibly.
Housing across Old Town mainly consists of victorian villas and edwardian terraces with 2.4m to 2.7m (7.9ft – 8.9ft) ceilings. Working on these specific property styles for years means understanding their plaster characteristics and typical needs perfectly.
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.
Questions cover what’s needed doing, property type, and your availability. Urgent work receives priority scheduling for immediate attendance, while planned jobs get convenient appointment times for detailed site visits and accurate pricing discussions.
On site, they’ll assess the work properly – checking surfaces, measuring areas, discussing options, and answering questions. Most assessments take 15-30 minutes depending on job complexity. You’ll receive clear pricing and realistic timescales before any work begins.
Work gets carried out as arranged – meticulous preparation, expert application, clean site habits. Adjacent areas get protected adequately, and complete tidying happens after finishing. You receive practical information about drying requirements, when decorating can begin, and new plaster maintenance.
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 timing varies with situation severity and diary capacity. Serious problems – plumbing damage, ceiling risks – generally receive immediate or next-day attendance across Old Town. Less critical urgent work schedules within 2-3 days normally. Call for accurate availability regarding your circumstances.
Call-out fees don’t apply to emergency plastering. Pricing based on actual job requirements – damage extent, materials required, completion time. You get transparent cost information after assessing the situation. No unexpected charges beyond what’s discussed before starting.
Emergency repairs target seamless integration with existing plasterwork. Skilled plasterers match surface texture accurately, use appropriate materials, and apply finishing methods that eliminate visible patch lines. Professional work blends completely – repairs disappear once walls or ceilings get painted.
Surface restoration is our focus – underlying problems typically need different expertise. Plumbing failures require plumbers, moisture issues need damp specialists, structural movement needs surveyor assessment. We complete quality plaster repairs but advise fixing root causes to avoid damage reoccurring.
Decoration readiness varies with repair size and drying environment. Minor emergency work generally dry within 1-2 weeks, significant repairs need 3-4 weeks, extensive work takes longer. Inadequate drying creates decoration failures – finish problems, adhesion issues, moisture complications. Accurate timing information provided following your repair completion.
