Cracked plaster, blown patches and water-damaged ceilings put right, quickly and cleanly, across Exeter and Devon. Free quotes by WhatsApp.
Plenty of plastering is repair work, putting right cracks, blown patches and water damage so they vanish into the wall.
A lot of what we do isn't full rooms. It's repairs. A crack that's appeared, a patch of plaster that's blown and sounds hollow, a hole where a radiator or fitting came off, or a ceiling stained and sagging after a leak. These don't need the whole wall doing, just a tidy, well-matched repair that blends invisibly into the surrounding plaster so you'd never know it was there.
The most common urgent one in Devon homes is water damage, a leaking roof, a burst pipe or an overflow leaving a brown-stained, blown or sagging ceiling. That needs sorting before it spreads, and we can re-board and re-skim the damaged area and make good around it. The trick with any repair is matching the finish so the patch disappears, rather than leaving an obvious flat square on a textured wall.

Sympathetic repairs to the older lath-and-plaster found in period Devon homes.
Urgent water-damage and ceiling jobs prioritised and turned around quickly.
Water damage is the one that usually can't wait. A leak from a bathroom, a slipped roof tile or a burst pipe can leave a ceiling stained, sagging or blown, and the longer it's left, the further it spreads and the bigger the job becomes. We prioritise these: re-boarding and re-skimming the damaged area, then blending the repair into the rest of the room so it's invisible once painted.
The quickest way to get an urgent repair sorted is to send a photo on WhatsApp. We can usually tell you straight away how soon we can get to you, and there's no call-out charge to come and take a look.
We cover all aspects of plastering and rendering, right across Devon.
Repairs are priced by the job, not by the metre.
A hairline crack and a whole blown wall are very different jobs, but both still need travel, materials, mixing and clearing up.
Patching into an existing wall so you can't see the join takes more skill than skimming the lot. Sometimes re-skimming the whole wall is actually the cheaper answer.
If it's a leak or damp, the cause has to be dealt with first, otherwise the new plaster goes the same way as the old.
