Plastering and Dry Lining

Plaster and plasterboard repairs

Plastering and dry lining can repair or renew damaged wall and ceiling finishes through patching, skimming or board replacement. The surface underneath, moisture, existing board, joints and surrounding finish all help define the work.

An active leak or unresolved movement should be identified before the affected finish is reinstated. A new surface alone does not demonstrate that the underlying problem has been resolved.

Explain the condition and finish

• Identify the property and the wall or ceiling concerned.
• Describe loose plaster, damaged board, staining or returning cracks.
• Share any known construction, board or previous repair information.
• Explain the required finish, occupancy and access arrangements.

The scope should separate preparation, board replacement and finish coats. Relevant fire, acoustic or impact requirements need to be understood for the construction being repaired.

Agree boundaries before work

Black & White Property Services confirms acceptance and the responsible delivery party. Coving repairs outside the instruction require separate authority or a quotation. Structural, fire-rated, regulated or certification-dependent work needs appropriately competent specialist input.

Visible damage does not confirm the final method or price. Agree whether final decoration is included or follows separately.
