What happens on the day

A Chandler's Ford repair begins with tests, because old lath and plaster often hides how much of it has really let go.

  • Tapping the surfaceTapping and gentle pressure divide solid plaster from hollow, moving plaster. Solid parts are marked and left as they are.
  • Removing the loosePlaster that has come away is cut back to a firm edge. Laths are refixed or swapped, and a patch beyond repair comes out whole.
  • Plaster, skim, finishNew plaster fills the gap and a skim coat levels it with the old, leaving a face that takes a mist coat and paint evenly.

Chandler's Ford questions about lath and plaster

Still have a question?

Do you work on lath and plaster in Hiltingbury?

Yes. We repair and replace it in older homes across Hiltingbury, Valley Park and Fryern, travelling from our base in Winchester.

What are keys in lath and plaster?

Keys are the blobs of plaster that squeeze through the gaps between laths and curl behind them. They hold the plaster up, and when they snap it sags.

My ceiling has a long crack. What now?

A crack that moves under light pressure can mean plaster has lost its hold. Send photos through Book Now and we will say whether repair or replacement fits.

Is a patch repair possible?

Often, when only part has let go. That part is cut back and rebuilt, then skimmed to match the plaster around it.

How do I get started?

Use Book Now, add photos of the ceiling or wall, and the price and visit are set up in the chat. Ask in the chat when you book and we will explain how it applies.
