## What sets lath plastering prices in Fareham

The reach of the damage sets the figure. Mending one patch is a modest job, while stripping and replacing a full ceiling is a much larger one.
- Lath plastering: Price on request
- Repairs in sections cost less than replacing the whole ceiling.
- A tall room or tight access adds time on site.
- Decorating afterwards is not included.

## What happens on the day

At a Fareham house the first job is testing, since old lath and plaster can look whole while parts of it have let go behind the surface.

### Sounding out the plaster

Knuckle taps and light pressure reveal plaster that rings hollow or flexes. Sound areas are outlined so they are left exactly as they stand.

### Trimming back failure

Plaster that has parted from the laths is trimmed to a firm margin. Split laths are refixed or renewed, and a ruined patch is removed completely.

### Filling and skimming

New plaster fills what was removed and a skim blends it into the surface around it, ready to take a mist coat and paint.

## Fareham questions about lath and plaster


### Do you handle lath and plaster in Fareham?

Yes. We repair and replace it in older houses across Portchester, Titchfield and Stubbington, travelling from our base in Winchester.

### How does lath and plaster hold together?

Plaster is pushed through gaps between timber laths and curls over the back of them. Those curls, called keys, are what hold the plaster to the frame.

### Is a bulging ceiling urgent?

A bulge shows that keys have broken and the plaster is hanging loose. It is wise to have it looked at soon, so send photos through Book Now.

### Will repaired areas be visible?

Not once skimmed and painted. The skim feathers the repair into the old surface, leaving a single level face.

### How do I arrange a visit?

Tap Book Now, attach 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.
