Plasterer in Gorton

Yes — every street in Gorton (M18) and the surrounding postcodes. No travel charges locally.

It depends on room size, ceiling height and prep work, but a typical Gorton bedroom re-skim is usually a one-day job. We provide a fixed written quote after a site visit.

Yes. We diagnose the type of damp first (rising, penetrating or condensation), treat the cause with chemical DPC injection and salt-resistant plaster, then replaster to a paint-ready finish.

Usually within 1-3 weeks depending on the season. Small repairs and patch work we can often fit in sooner — just ask.

Yes — we are a Manchester-based plastering team working across Gorton (M18) every week, so we can usually get out to look at a job within a few days.

Skimming and re-skimming, ceiling repairs and overboarding, artex over-skim, plasterboarding and dry lining, stud partitions, coving and cornice, float and set, and damp proofing with salt-resistant replastering — all available across Gorton.

Many older Gorton homes have failed or missing damp courses. We survey with moisture meters, install a chemical DPC where needed, apply a salt-resistant render system and skim back to a paint-ready finish.

Typically 3-7 days for a standard skim. Damp-proofed walls need longer — usually 2-4 weeks — and should be finished with a breathable mist coat first.

Yes — we work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses across Gorton, including void-property turnarounds and out-of-hours commercial work.
