Expert plaster ceiling repairs in Edinburgh
Ceiling Plaster Repair
There are various reasons why you may need work on your ceilings. Sometimes ceilings simply become damaged over the years due to wear and tear. Or perhaps you have bought a property and the ceilings are in a bad state of disrepair. Old original lath and plaster ceilings may suffer from water damage too.
You may be working on a renovation and require the ceiling to be plastered as part of the process. Or perhaps you are refurbishing a property or carrying out a loft conversion.
Whatever your situation, you need a smooth finish before decorating the room. When it comes to repairing ceilings, we’re the experts you can trust in Edinburgh.
Ceiling Plaster Finishes
We will create plaster finishes that look great and last a long time. We will ensure smooth surfaces and clean lines for a great result.
Where ceilings are damaged or the surfaces are uneven, we can help to mask the imperfections with skimming. The surfaces will last for many years, and even decades, without suffering damage. We can even provide decorative finishes depending on your needs.
We also work on larger projects where the ceiling has suffered serious damage, like severe flood damage. We take on insurance works, and we will get everything repaired to a high standard so you can enjoy your home again.
Ceiling collapsed or damaged by Water?
We take on insurance works. If you have a water damaged ceiling or flood damage you can rely on us to carry out remedial works to make it feel like home again. We repair and replace ceiling joists and plasterboard and then plaster and paint so that your ceiling will look as good as new.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you fix a collapsed or sagging ceiling?
A collapsed or sagging ceiling is repaired by removing damaged plaster or plasterboard, checking and replacing joists where needed, and reboarding and re-plastering the area for a smooth, level finish ready for painting.
What causes ceilings to sag or collapse?
Common causes include water damage from roof leaks or burst pipes, ageing lath-and-plaster construction, loft insulation overload, or general wear and tear over time.
Can a water-damaged ceiling be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes — damaged plasterboard or lath-and-plaster sections can be cut out and replaced, then skimmed and finished, rather than replacing the whole ceiling, once the source of the water ingress is fixed.
How long does it take to plaster a ceiling?
Timescales depend on the ceiling’s size and condition, but a standard ceiling skim usually takes a day or two to plaster, plus drying time before decorating; larger repairs from water or structural damage take longer.
