## What happens on the day

Before anything comes down in Southampton, the plaster is tested, because a ceiling that looks intact may be holding on by very little.

### Testing every area

Tapping and light pressure show where plaster rings solid and where it sounds empty. Solid areas are marked so they stay.

### Removing what has failed

Detached plaster is cut away to a firm line. Damaged laths are refixed or replaced, and a hopeless section is taken out entirely.

### Replaster and finish

New plaster is applied and skimmed so the edge between old and new disappears, ready for a mist coat and paint.

## Southampton questions about lath and plaster


### Do you repair lath and plaster in Southampton?

Yes. We repair and replace it in older properties across Shirley, Portswood, Bitterne and Woolston, travelling from our Winchester base.

### How was lath and plaster made?

Timber strips were fixed across a frame and plaster pressed through the gaps. It curled behind the strips and hardened into keys that held the surface.

### Is a cracked ceiling a sign of trouble?

Cracks that move when pressed suggest the plaster has lost its grip. Send photos through Book Now and we can say whether repair or replacement fits.

### Can you patch rather than replace?

Often yes, when only part has let go. Loose plaster is cut back and rebuilt, then skimmed level with its surroundings.

### How do I book a visit?

Press Book Now, add photos of the ceiling or wall, and the price and date are set up in the chat. Tell us what you want when you book and we will say what suits the wall.
