What happens on the day
On a Newbury lath and plaster job, finding the weak plaster comes first, because the loose areas are not always the visible ones.
- Find the weak spotsTapping and gentle pushing separate firm plaster from plaster that has gone hollow. The good areas are outlined and kept.
- Strip what has goneDetached plaster is trimmed back to a solid edge. Laths are secured or renewed, and a badly gone patch is removed whole.
- Plaster and smoothNew plaster fills the opening, then a skim coat levels it with the surrounding surface so it can take a mist coat.

WhatsAppCan you work on lath and plaster in Newbury?
Yes. We repair and replace it in older houses around Speen, Wash Common and Greenham, coming out from our Winchester base.
What is a lath?
A thin strip of timber fixed across joists or studs. Plaster pushed between the strips forms keys behind them that hold the surface up.
What if my ceiling sags in one corner?
A local sag usually means plaster has lost its keys there. Send photos through Book Now and we can judge whether to rebuild that area or replace more.
Does the repair stay visible?
A skim coat blends the repaired area into the plaster around it, so once painted it reads as one level surface.
How do I arrange this?
Choose Book Now, add photos of the ceiling or wall, and price and visit are set up in the chat. Ask in the chat when you book and we will explain how it applies to your house.
