## What happens on the day

Work on lath and plaster here starts with testing, because plaster that looks whole can already have lost its hold.

### Find the loose plaster

Tapping and gentle pressure separate solid plaster from plaster that sounds hollow or moves. Solid parts are outlined and kept.

### Take out what has failed

Detached plaster is cut back to a firm edge. Laths are refixed or replaced, and a section beyond saving comes out completely.

### New plaster and a skim

Fresh plaster fills the opening and a skim coat levels it with the old surface, so it takes a mist coat and paint evenly.

## Bishop's Waltham questions about lath and plaster


### Do you work on lath and plaster in Bishop's Waltham?

Yes. We repair and replace it in older houses in Bishop's Waltham and across SO32, travelling from our base in Winchester.

### What holds old plaster up?

Keys. Plaster pressed between timber laths curls behind them and hardens, and those keys grip the laths to hold the surface.

### Is a cracked ceiling a problem?

A crack that moves under pressure suggests the keys are failing. Send photos through Book Now so we can say what the repair needs.

### Can you repair part of a ceiling?

Often, yes, when only part has let go. That area is cut back and rebuilt, then skimmed level with the rest.

### How do I book a visit?

Tap Book Now, add photos of the ceiling or wall, and the chat sets up the price and the day. Ask in the chat when you book and we will explain how it applies.
