Frequently Asked Questions
How do you repair a water-damaged ceiling or wall?
Repairing water damage involves assessing the extent of the damage, removing and replacing affected plasterboard or lath-and-plaster sections, repairing or replacing joists if needed, then re-plastering to restore both structural strength and a flawless finish.
Can plastering work be done through a home insurance claim?
Yes. William Bain & Sons work directly with insurance companies to carry out repairs for water-damaged walls and ceilings caused by burst pipes, roof leaks or storm damage.
What is rising damp and how is it treated?
Rising damp is moisture drawn up through a wall from the ground, causing staining, damaged plaster and a musty smell. Preservation works and remedial plastering are used to treat the affected area and prevent long-term structural damage.
How quickly should water damage to a ceiling be repaired?
Water damage should be addressed as soon as possible, since delaying repairs can weaken joists and plasterboard further, increasing the risk of a full ceiling collapse.
