Fast attendance across Old Street. Speak directly to the emergency plasterer covering your area – no call centres, no delays, just prompt professional repairs when you need them most.
Emergency plastering situations demand immediate action, not the lengthy ritual of posting online and fielding calls from several competing tradesmen. You need one reliable plasterer who attends promptly – not a selection process that prolongs the problem.
We do things differently.
We keep things simple: one emergency tradesman covers Old Street. Contact them directly when damage happens, and they’ll attend your property without the delays of competitive quoting or platform coordination.
Urgent plaster damage takes many shapes. Flooding creates different problems than accidental impacts, and structural cracks need separate consideration from surface failures – identifying what’s caused the damage helps determine the repair approach.
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.
Water damage from burst pipes, leaking radiators, or plumbing failures saturates plaster quickly, causing ceilings to bulge, walls to discolour, and surfaces to deteriorate rapidly. Emergency plasterers assess moisture spread, remove damaged sections, manage drying processes, and complete professional restoration work that matches existing finishes. Fast attendance prevents secondary damage – mould growth, structural weakening, and electrical hazards – while skilled repair work restores walls and ceilings to original condition.
Emergency plaster patching for impact holes covers damage from door handles, furniture collisions, accidental strikes, and moving incidents that compromise wall and ceiling surfaces. Professional repair work includes edge preparation, substrate assessment, proper filling techniques, and careful finish matching that makes damage disappear completely. Fast attendance prevents exposed areas collecting moisture, edges deteriorating further, or small holes expanding into larger problems requiring extensive restoration.
Emergency plaster repairs for structural cracks cover damage from building settlement, thermal movement, foundation shifts, or subsidence issues. Skilled plasterers understand crack behaviour – width changes seasonally, patterns indicate cause, location suggests severity. Professional assessment determines whether cracks warrant immediate structural investigation or respond safely to flexible repair systems that accommodate natural building movement without reopening.
Failing ceiling plaster repairs require immediate professional attention when surfaces exhibit sagging, cracking patterns radiating from low points, or hollow sounds indicating delamination. Emergency plasterers assess ceiling stability before beginning work – testing remaining sections, identifying failure causes, planning removal approaches that prevent sudden collapse during intervention. Skilled restoration includes proper substrate preparation, secure fixing methods, and finish techniques that create level, durable ceiling surfaces.
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.

Dominant housing types within Old Street are converted warehouses and georgian terraced houses, typically featuring 2.7m to 3.2m (8.9ft – 10.5ft) ceiling heights. Years plastering these exact building types teaches you their characteristics – how materials perform and what approaches work best.
When you call or submit the form, it goes straight to the plasterer covering Old Street – the same person who’ll attend your property and complete the work. No call centre, no middleman filtering your request, just direct contact with the tradesman who’ll do the job.
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.
Assessment includes surface inspection, area measurement, material discussion, and question answering. Evaluation usually takes 15-45 minutes depending on job scope. You receive straightforward pricing information and accurate timeframe estimates before any work commences.
Jobs get carried out professionally – proper preparation stages, quality workmanship, tidy practices. Protection goes down for surrounding areas, and comprehensive cleanup happens after completion. Straightforward information addresses drying times, decoration timing, and any specific care instructions for new plaster.
The common questions we see from new arrivals – how does it work, do we serve your area, and how do you get started. Straight answers, kept simple.
Response speed reflects damage severity and current workload. Dangerous situations – water ingress, ceiling instability – typically receive immediate or next-day response across Old Street. Standard emergencies generally schedule within 48 hours. Direct enquiry confirms accurate timing for your particular problem.
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 work aims for seamless finish integration. Skilled tradesmen match existing texture accurately, use compatible repair materials, and employ techniques that eliminate obvious patch marks. Quality repairs blend invisibly – becoming undetectable once surfaces receive decoration.
Emergency plastering addresses surface damage – the underlying cause usually requires separate trades. Burst pipes need plumbers, damp issues need specialists, structural problems need surveyors. We repair plaster professionally but recommend addressing root causes to prevent recurring damage requiring repeated repairs.
Drying times vary with work depth and room conditions. Small repairs typically ready in 1-2 weeks, larger work needs 2-4 weeks, extensive repairs require longer periods. Early decoration risks failures – finish blistering, adhesion problems, damp issues. You’ll get accurate timing information based on your specific repair work.
