Plastering costs in Leith typically range from £300–£800 per room depending on the size of the room, condition of existing surfaces and type of finish required. A full re-plaster (stripping back to brick and re-plastering) costs more than a skim coat over existing plaster. We provide fixed-price quotes after a free survey — call 07890 903645 to arrange.
Yes — we have extensive experience with Leith's Converted warehouses, new-build apartments, Victorian tenements, commercial conversions. Period properties often require lime plaster rather than modern gypsum plaster to allow walls to breathe and prevent damp. Our plasterers are trained in traditional lime plastering techniques and can match original plaster profiles and cornicing.
A single room skim coat typically takes 1 day to apply and 2–3 days to dry fully before painting. A full room re-plaster takes 2–3 days. Larger projects such as whole-house re-plasters or extension plastering are programmed individually. We always provide a detailed programme at survey stage.
Absolutely — this is one of our most common requests in Leith. After boiler installation, pipe chasing or heating system upgrades, walls and ceilings often need making good. Our plastering team works directly with our heating engineers to ensure a seamless finish after all mechanical works are complete.
