We’ve built a faster system.
Nunhead 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 damage emerges from different causes. Flooding affects surfaces differently than gradual dampness, and sudden impacts create distinct problems from slow deterioration – recognising these differences ensures proper emergency response and repair methods.
Read the breakdown below and decide if we handle your type of emergency. If we do, get in contact and we’ll attend promptly. If we don’t, that’s fine – appreciate you stopping by.
Water damage ceiling restoration and wall repairs require emergency plastering expertise that balances speed with technical precision. Saturated plaster loses strength rapidly, ceilings develop dangerous bowing, and walls soften beyond salvage if professional help delays. Emergency services prioritise fast attendance, thorough damage assessment, controlled drying processes, and quality restoration work that protects properties while maintaining interior finish standards throughout affected rooms.
Impact damage and accidental holes from furniture strikes, door handle collisions, or moving accidents require immediate plastering attention before edges crumble further or moisture penetrates exposed substrates. Emergency plasterers assess hole depth, prepare surrounding surfaces properly, and complete invisible patch repairs using materials that match existing plaster thickness and finish texture. Fast professional response prevents small damage escalating into larger repair jobs requiring complete wall sections replacing.
Structural movement emergency repairs address sudden cracks appearing from settlement, subsidence, thermal expansion, or building shifts. Professional plastering services assess crack patterns thoroughly before restoration begins – stepped cracks, diagonal fractures, and horizontal splits each suggest different movement types requiring specific repair approaches. Skilled tradesmen prepare surfaces correctly, apply flexible repair materials, and finish work to blend seamlessly while accommodating natural building behaviour.
Sagging ceiling emergency repairs require fast professional response before partial failures become complete collapses. Bowing ceilings indicate plaster losing adhesion to lath or plasterboard, water damage destroying structural bonds, or inadequate original installation finally failing under weight and age. Emergency plasterers evaluate ceiling stability accurately, remove dangerous sections safely, address underlying causes, and complete restoration work that creates level, secure surfaces throughout affected rooms.
Urgent plaster repairs for damp and mould problems demand fast intervention when moisture damage causes surface failure, salt blooming, and health-threatening fungal growth. Professional emergency services assess moisture sources using specialist equipment, determine appropriate intervention methods, and complete comprehensive repairs addressing both symptoms and causes. Skilled plasterers remove affected material safely, implement proper drying processes, apply moisture-resistant systems, and restore surfaces using techniques that prevent future damp and mould development.

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 finishes forms essential emergency repair work. Plasterers evaluate current surface characteristics, choose suitable materials, and use blending techniques that hide patch boundaries completely. Quality emergency work integrates seamlessly – repairs become undetectable after decoration application.
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.
