What happens on the day

Any Alton lath and plaster repair starts with testing, since plaster can look sound while hanging on by very little.

  • Check the plasterTapping and pressure show where plaster has gone hollow or moves. Firm areas are outlined so they are not disturbed.
  • Cut out the failed plasterLoose plaster is cut to a firm edge. Laths are refixed or renewed, and a section that cannot be saved is taken out.
  • New plaster and skimFresh plaster is applied and skimmed so repair and original merge into one surface ready for a mist coat.

Alton questions on lath and plaster

Still have a question?

Do you repair lath and plaster near Alton?

Yes. We repair and replace it in older homes in Holybourne and Anstey, travelling from our base in Winchester.

What is lath and plaster?

Narrow timber strips fixed across a frame, with plaster pressed through the gaps. It hardens behind the strips into keys that hold the surface.

Why has my ceiling cracked?

Cracks that move when pressed often mean plaster has lost its keys. Send photos through Book Now so we can see how far it has spread.

Will the repair be flat?

Yes. A skim coat levels the repaired area with the plaster around it, so paint covers it evenly. Ask in the chat when you book and we will explain how it applies to your house.

How do I book?
