Cost of replastering after damp work in Southampton
The Southampton cost of replastering after damp work includes checking the bare wall, the thick coats and the thin closing coat. Extra bare brick or block raises the price. A deeper plaster build raises the price. A high wall raises the price because it takes more time. More than one stripped wall in the room raises the price too. We are punctual on the Southampton visit. The price named for that wall stays the price of the plaster.
Included
- Checking the wall is ready to plaster
- Base coats applied to the bare masonry
- A finishing coat trowelled smooth
- Edges and reveals finished neatly
- Damp treatment sits apart from the Southampton replastering price. We mix plaster only after that treatment is complete.
- We price one Southampton wall from its bare area. We price a full room from the bare area in that room. We price a ground floor in the same way.
- Fixing a leak is a separate price, before we plaster the Southampton wall. Fixing a faulty gutter is a separate price too.
- Paint for the Southampton room starts once the new plaster is an even colour. Wallpaper starts then too. Neither is in this price.

What happens on the day
Southampton replastering after damp work starts on brick or block that is already stripped. We check the face before we mix any plaster. We bring the wall forward with thick coats. A thin coat shuts the face so it is smooth. You decorate only after the fresh plaster is one colour across the wall.
- Bare Southampton brick and block after damp workWe find the Southampton wall down to brick, or down to block. Damp treatment is the separate job that stops moisture travelling through a wall. We start only after that treatment has finished. Tanking is a waterproof skin on the brick or the block. Where the wall has that skin, the skin is already complete. We protect the floor with dust sheets. We cover skirtings, door linings and window boards so wet plaster cannot stain them.
- Thick coats on the Southampton wallWe spread a brown coat across the bare brick or block in Southampton. A brown coat is the thick plaster undercoat. We key that coat for the finish. That keyed layer is a scratch coat. A scratch coat is the opening coat, marked so the coat after it locks on. We then pull a straight edge over each coat. A straight edge is a long rule that takes down the high spots. More bare wall means more plaster in the mix.
- Thin coat and straight reveals in SouthamptonWe trowel a thin finishing coat over the thick coats in Southampton until the ridges disappear. The same coat runs into the corners. A reveal is the return at the side of an opening. We make each window reveal straight. We make each door reveal straight. We finish the door casings, the frames around the doors, straight as well.
- Paint timing on new Southampton plasterYou can paint the new Southampton plaster once the colour matches from one edge of the wall to the other. A thicker build stays dark for longer. Cold weather stretches that wait. Room heating shortens that wait. The first paint is a mist coat. A mist coat is emulsion loosened with water. It seals the plaster. Wallpaper follows that seal. A full colour follows it too. We leave decorating out of this visit. We tidy the Southampton room on the way out.

Have you put new plaster on bare walls and ceilings?
Yes, we spread a first coat of plaster over the ceiling and the walls in a small room. We keyed a scratch coat, the first plaster layer marked so the finish grips, on a hallway wall. We plastered a wall while the joists, the timbers above that ceiling, were still open.
