Plastering in Wrexham

JB Plastering carries out plastering for homes in Wrexham, Chester and the surrounding areas. Work ranges from a single room or a damaged ceiling to hallways, stairs and landings and whole houses under renovation. James quotes every job himself and works on site with his brother and the team.

Plastering for Walls and Ceilings

Existing walls and ceilings should be looked at before they are quoted. Loose or hollow plaster, heavy patching, cracks and old water damage all change the preparation needed, and sometimes whether a full replaster is needed at all.

Plastering enquiries can cover:

• Replastering walls back to a sound background
• Boarding and plastering damaged or sagging ceilings
• Hallways, stairs and landings
• Rooms opened up for rewiring, plumbing or alterations
• Work around windows, doorways, beams, fireplaces and media walls

See finished rooms, ceilings and media walls in the gallery.

Replaster or Skim?

Where the existing plaster is sound and firmly attached, a skim coat over the top is often enough, and it is quicker and less disruptive. A full replaster is the better option when plaster is loose, crumbling or sounds hollow, or when walls have been patched so many times they will never look flat. James will tell you which one the job needs.

Planning the Work

Rewiring, plumbing and joinery that cut into walls or ceilings should be finished before plastering starts, so the new surface does not have to be opened up again. On renovations with several trades, a list of the rooms, photos and details of who else is working on the house help James set the scope and fit the plastering in around them.

Floors, windows, doors and fittings are covered before any plaster is mixed, and the room is cleaned up before the team leaves. Customers' Google reviews regularly mention how clean and tidy the house is kept.

Leave Enough Time Before Decorating

Fresh plaster must dry fully before painting. Drying time depends on the thickness of the plaster, ventilation, temperature and time of year, so allow some flexibility before booking a decorator. New plaster is normally sealed with a thinned mist coat first; follow the paint manufacturer's guidance.
