Plastering work,
done right.

Send your town or area, what needs doing and a few photos. A wide shot shows the whole wall or room; a close-up helps with cracks or damaged areas. Rough measurements, plans and your preferred timeframe are useful if you have them.

Photos are a useful starting point, especially for small repairs. Larger jobs, awkward access or damaged surfaces usually need a visit and a measure-up before I can give a firm price.

Yes, including tiny patches and making good. There is a €100 minimum job fee. Beyond that, the price depends on the size, condition, preparation and access. Send the details and I can price the actual work.

I normally price labour and materials separately. I order the materials for you, using a close estimate of what the job needs to keep your costs and waste down.

Extra materials may be needed as the work progresses, and I’ll keep you updated. This avoids paying for a large surplus that may never be used.

If you prefer one overall price, I’m happy to include materials, with an allowance for any extra that may be needed. We’ll confirm what’s included before agreeing the job.

Wexford and surrounding counties. Include your town or area in the enquiry so I can confirm whether I can take on the job at your location.

A small repair and a full house need very different amounts of time. Preparation, the number of coats, drying and weather all matter. Let me know your preferred dates; I’ll discuss availability and the likely working time once I’ve seen the job.

Often, yes, if the existing surface is sound and prepared properly. Loose plaster, wallpaper, flaking paint or damp need looking at first. Photos help me see whether a skim, a local repair or more preparation is needed.

Sometimes a local repair is enough; sometimes more of the render needs attention. I’ll look at the cracks and the surrounding surface before suggesting a repair. Cracks that keep returning may need their underlying cause investigated first.

Yes. This is internal repair work on walls or ceilings after water damage. The leak must be fixed and the area allowed to dry sufficiently first. I can then assess the damaged plaster or boards and what needs replacing or making good.

The work shown here includes sand and cement with a sponge finish, and white cement with a napped finish. The choice depends on the wall and the look you want. Send a reference photo if you have a particular finish in mind.

Clear smaller belongings and leave good access to the walls and ceiling. Tell me about furniture that cannot be moved. We’ll agree what needs removing, floor protection, access to water and any waste removal before starting.

There isn’t one drying time for every job. Thickness, the background, temperature and ventilation all affect it. Plaster needs to be fully dry before normal decorating. I’ll explain the aftercare for your finish; follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for preparing new plaster.

External work depends on suitable weather during application and while it sets. Heavy rain, frost, strong sun or drying winds can affect the finish. Protection or a change of dates may be needed, and I’ll discuss that when planning the job.

Slabbing means fitting plasterboard to the walls or ceiling. Skimming is the thin plaster finish over the prepared surface. I can quote for both stages together, or discuss the stage your job is at.

Yes. Rooms, extensions, granny flats, renovations and new builds are all jobs I take on. Send the plans or rough room sizes, and say whether the ceilings are included.

Stud framing, insulation and any wiring or plumbing that sits behind the boards need to be coordinated first. The building also needs to be suitably dry and weather-tight. We’ll go through the preparation and any board requirements before starting.

Yes, I can help get quotes for other trades. Mention what still needs doing, from carpentry to electrical or plumbing work, so it can be considered alongside the plastering.
