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.
Read what we do below and work out if it fits your emergency. If it sounds right, call or send a message. If it’s not quite the service you need, no hard feelings.
Plumbing failures and water ingress cause urgent plaster damage that worsens by the hour – staining spreads, ceilings bow under weight, and structural elements face exposure to persistent moisture. Emergency plaster repairs address immediate visible damage while checking hidden complications like saturated insulation, compromised timber, or electrical risks. Professional tradesmen work fast to dry, prepare, and restore affected surfaces before secondary problems develop.
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.
Settlement and subsidence crack repairs address urgent plastering damage from foundation movement, ground shifts, or structural settlement that creates visible fractures across interior surfaces. Professional emergency services assess crack severity, identify underlying causes, and complete appropriate repairs that remain stable despite ongoing building movement. Expert techniques ensure restorations blend invisibly while accommodating natural shifts that rigid repairs cannot withstand without failing.
Emergency repairs for bowing ceilings demand fast professional response when surfaces show visible sagging or bulging indicating imminent failure. Ceiling delamination progresses unpredictably – stable-looking sections often collapse suddenly once adhesion weakens beyond critical thresholds. Skilled emergency plasterers evaluate ceiling soundness thoroughly, remove dangerous areas decisively, prepare substrates correctly, and complete restoration work using techniques that prevent future sagging while matching existing finishes seamlessly.
Emergency repairs for rising damp plaster damage address urgent situations where ground moisture penetrates building fabric, causing salt efflorescence, material deterioration, and mould growth across lower wall sections. Rising damp creates specific problems requiring specialist repair approaches – hygroscopic salts continue drawing moisture, standard plaster fails rapidly, and surface treatments prove ineffective without proper preparation. Emergency plasterers remove contaminated material completely, apply salt-neutralising renders, and complete restoration using breathable systems that manage ongoing moisture.

Emergency plastering doesn’t involve call-out charges. Work pricing reflects actual requirements – damage size, materials needed, labour time. Clear cost information follows assessment. No surprise charges beyond agreed pricing established and explained upfront.
Matching existing plaster forms core emergency repair practice. Experienced plasterers assess surface characteristics, select suitable materials, and apply blending methods that make patches disappear into surrounding plasterwork. Professional repairs shouldn’t be visible after decoration application.
Emergency work covers plaster damage – underlying issues typically need specialist attention. Plumbing problems require plumbers, damp concerns need proper treatment, structural cracks need surveyor assessment. We repair surfaces professionally but recommend addressing root causes to stop future complications.
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.
