Plasterer in Salford
Specialist plastering and damp proofing right across Salford — from converted Quays apartments to red-brick terraces in Pendleton.

Plastering in Salford
Salford is one of our busiest patches. We work weekly across Salford Quays, Eccles, Swinton, Worsley, Pendleton and Higher Broughton — covering everything from quick ceiling patches in modern apartments to full re-skim packages on older M6 and M7 housing stock.
Because so much of Salford's housing is solid-wall Victorian terrace, we see a lot of penetrating damp, blown plaster and salt-contaminated walls. Where damp is the cause, we diagnose, treat and replaster in one job — no merry-go-round between trades.
Salford property types we know
Mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war council stock, and modern apartment blocks around the Quays and MediaCity.

Timings, damp, prep and everything else Salford customers ask before booking a plasterer.
Do you cover all of Salford?+
Yes — every Salford postcode from M3 in the city centre out to M28 Worsley and M30 Eccles. No travel charges within Salford.
How long does it take to re-skim a room in Salford?+
A typical Salford terrace bedroom skim is usually a one-day job, depending on ceiling height and prep work. We give a fixed written quote after a site visit.
Can you fix rising damp in older Salford terraces?+
Yes. We diagnose the type of damp first (rising, penetrating or condensation), then treat the cause — chemical DPC injection, salt-resistant plaster and ventilation upgrades as needed.
Are you a local plasterer near me in Salford?+
Yes — we are a Manchester-based plastering team working across Salford (M3, M5, M6, M7, M27, M30) every week, so we can usually get out to look at a job within a few days.
What plastering services do you offer in Salford?+
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 Salford.
Do you plaster over artex ceilings in Salford?+
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 Salford property?+
Many older Salford 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 Salford?+
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 Salford?+
Yes — we work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses across Salford, including void-property turnarounds and out-of-hours commercial work.
