Plastering in Old Trafford
We're a Manchester-based plastering team covering Old Trafford (M16) week in, week out. From single ceiling repairs and patch work to full house re-skims, every Old Trafford job is dust-sheeted, finished paint-ready and backed by a fixed written quote.
Victorian terraces, modern apartments and small commercial premises. That means we know the quirks of the local housing — blown plaster on chimney breasts, lath-and-plaster ceilings, salt-contaminated walls and the everyday damp issues that come with older Manchester properties.
Whether you're after a quick ceiling repair, a full room re-skim, coving installation, artex over-skim or a chemical DPC and replaster, we cover the lot across Old Trafford and the surrounding West Manchester streets.

Timings, damp, prep and everything else Old Trafford customers ask before booking a plasterer.
Do you cover all of Old Trafford?+
Yes — every street in Old Trafford (M16) and the surrounding postcodes. No travel charges locally.
How long does plastering take in Old Trafford?+
It depends on room size, ceiling height and prep work, but a typical Old Trafford bedroom re-skim is usually a one-day job. We provide a fixed written quote after a site visit.
Do you handle damp proofing in Old Trafford?+
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.
How soon can you start a Old Trafford job?+
Usually within 1-3 weeks depending on the season. Small repairs and patch work we can often fit in sooner — just ask.
Are you a local plasterer near me in Old Trafford?+
Yes — we are a Manchester-based plastering team working across Old Trafford (M16) every week, so we can usually get out to look at a job within a few days.
What plastering services do you offer in Old Trafford?+
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 Old Trafford.
Do you plaster over artex ceilings in Old Trafford?+
Yes. We never sand artex because pre-2000 texture can contain asbestos. We either overboard with fresh plasterboard or bond and skim straight over it, leaving a flat, paint-ready ceiling.
Can you fix rising damp in a Old Trafford property?+
Many older Old Trafford 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.
How long before I can decorate after plastering in Old Trafford?+
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.
Do you work on rented and commercial property in Old Trafford?+
Yes — we work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses across Old Trafford, including void-property turnarounds and out-of-hours commercial work.
