Controlled plaster removal
Controlled removal of waterlogged plaster safer than waiting for failure. We open only damaged sections for safe drainage and trade access.
Structural safety check
After leaks or ceiling failure, we check joists, beams and load-bearing elements. Water-softened timber identified. Unsafe areas closed off.
Plasterboard repair
Ceilings repaired to match existing construction once source fixed and area dry. Period properties use compatible lath-and-plaster methods.
Damp patch investigation
Recurring damp patches investigated against pipe runs, roof lines and previous repairs. We find the actual source before any redecoration.
Load-bearing timber inspection
Joists and beams exposed to water inspected for softening, rot or movement. Unsafe timber flagged for replacement, not cover-up.
Temporary propping
Compromised ceilings or floors temporarily propped for safety. Area kept usable while repairs arranged. Propping removed after permanent work.
Full ceiling reinstatement
Ceilings reinstated to finished standard after drying and repairs. Boarding, plastering and preparation for painting or coving matching.
Crack stitching & repair
Structural cracks in walls and ceilings stitched and repaired. Movement cause identified. Decorative finish matched to existing.
Cornice & coving repair
Period cornices and coving repaired or replicated. Ornate plasterwork restored by specialists. Paint finish matched.
Ceiling joist replacement
Severely damaged joists cut out and replaced. New timber treated and fitted to building regs. Ceiling reinstated over.
Wall tie replacement
Failed wall ties in cavity walls identified and replaced. Wall stability restored. Minimal decorative disruption.
