Will you damage my plaster mouldings?

Not knowingly. We ask what is being kept before starting and work back to a natural break in the moulding rather than through it. Where a detail cannot be matched we say so beforehand rather than apologising after.

Repair or full-wall skim — which is right for Boyle Street plaster?

It depends on the wall. A few cracks in solid Boyle Street plaster we spot-fix; walls with extensive cracking or waviness do better skimmed flat. We give you a straight answer for your Boyle Street home.

Do you repair Boyle Street plaster that has separated from the lath?

Yes. Separated Boyle Street plaster gets re-anchored to the lath — or failed sections replaced — then skimmed and blended invisible.

Can you repair Boyle Street plaster without tearing the wall out?

In most cases, yes. If the plaster is still keyed to the lath it gets re-anchored and skimmed rather than removed. We only cut out sections that have genuinely failed, and we tell you on site which of the two you have.

My Boyle Street plaster is bulging off the lath — fixable?

Yes. In Boyle Street we re-fasten lath-separated plaster or replace what has failed, finishing with a skim-blend that hides the repair.

The corner of my plaster wall is bubbling. Why?

Often a corroded metal bead beneath. Rust expands and pushes the plaster off from behind, so filling it just brings the same failure back. That bead section has to come out and be replaced.

Plaster repair in Boyle Street, matched to the wall you already have

Most Boyle Street plaster we look at is repairable. The question is whether it is still keyed to the lath behind it. If it is, the wall gets re-anchored and skimmed; if whole sections have separated, those sections come out and get rebuilt. Settling that on site, in writing, is what stops a small repair turning into a full room.

Repairing plaster against boarding over it

Two honest options

Some Boyle Street rooms are past patching. Then the choice is rebuilding the plaster or boarding over it with drywall and skimming. Boarding is faster and flatter. It also buries the original surface and costs a little ceiling height and any plaster detail.

How we decide with you

If the plaster is largely sound, repairing keeps the character and costs less. Once roughly a third of a wall has failed, boarding over usually buys a better wall for the money. We tell you which one we would do, and why, before you commit to either.

Gypsum lath and the middle era

Between lath and drywall

Many mid-century Boyle Street homes have small gypsum board panels — often called rock lath — with a plaster skim over them, rather than wood lath.

How it fails

It fails at the panel joints rather than by losing keys, so the cracking pattern is more regular. Identifying which system you have changes both the diagnosis and the repair, so it is the first thing we look at.

Dust is the real disruption

Plaster repair makes fine dust that travels, so containment matters more here than on new work. We seal the working area, cover floors, and run the sanding to a vacuum where the job allows it.

Sequencing around you

Plaster repairs cure in coats, so a room is usually worked over several visits rather than one long day. We sequence so the space is usable between coats wherever possible, and we say up front which days it genuinely will not be.
