Emergency plaster repairs don’t suit the usual multi-quote routine. When sudden damage threatens your property, you need one phone call to someone reliable – not an inbox full of competing estimates while problems escalate.

Tilgate has one reliable emergency plasterer assigned. Your call or form reaches them directly – the same person who’ll attend your property and complete expert repairs without competitive quoting delays.
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.
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.
Impact hole emergency repairs require professional plastering expertise that goes beyond simple filler application. Damaged plaster edges need proper preparation, substrates require sound anchoring, and repair materials must match existing plaster composition to prevent future cracking or adhesion problems. Experienced emergency plasterers assess impact damage accurately, prepare surfaces correctly, and complete invisible patches that withstand normal use without telegraphing through decoration.
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.
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.
Why us over others? You decide. Here’s the clear information on our service and local knowledge throughout Tilgate.

Emergency plastering addresses water-damaged surfaces, impact holes, structural cracks, failing ceilings, and moisture deterioration across Tilgate. Rapid attendance, accurate damage assessment, and professional restoration that matches existing plasterwork seamlessly.
The housing stock features mainly semi-detached houses and modern estates with ceiling heights around 2.4m to 2.6m (7.9ft – 8.5ft). Extensive experience on this property mix means understanding how plaster performs and what’s needed for different work types.
Your call or message goes straight to the local plasterer – the person who’ll visit your property and carry out the job. Direct contact eliminates delays and ensures clear communication from initial enquiry through to completion.
Discussion focuses on understanding requirements – work scope, property type, urgency level. Time-sensitive situations get rapid response coordination, while scheduled projects receive arranged visits for complete site assessment and accurate pricing.
Evaluation covers all relevant factors – existing surface quality, work scope, material selection, timing constraints. Assessment typically takes 20-45 minutes depending on job complexity. Clear pricing details and realistic schedule estimates are provided before work commences.
Jobs proceed professionally – proper surface preparation, skilled workmanship, clean site practices. Protection goes down for surrounding areas, and thorough cleanup happens after completion. You’ll understand drying requirements, when painting can start, and any care needed for fresh plasterwork.
The usual suspects when people land here – how does it work, do we cover your patch, and how do you connect. Simple answers below.
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 Tilgate. Less critical emergencies get scheduled within 2-3 days. Contact directly for accurate availability.
Emergency work doesn’t involve call-out fees. Repairs get quoted based on genuine requirements – damage scope, materials needed, work duration. You receive clear pricing after evaluating the situation. No surprise additions to agreed costs discussed initially.
Emergency repairs prioritise invisible integration with existing plasterwork. Experienced plasterers match surface texture, select compatible materials, and apply finish methods that make patches undetectable against surrounding areas. Professional work shouldn’t show obvious repair locations once decorated.
Emergency work covers plaster damage repair – fundamental causes often need specialist attention. Water ingress requires plumbing fixes, damp problems need proper treatment, structural issues demand surveyor involvement. We restore surfaces professionally while recommending addressing underlying problems to prevent future damage.
Drying times vary with repair size, plaster depth, and room conditions. Small patches typically dry within 1-2 weeks, larger repairs need 2-4 weeks, extensive work requires longer. Proper drying prevents decoration failures – paint blistering, wallpaper lifting, mould development. You’ll receive specific timing guidance based on your actual repair work.
