How often should I get my plastering done?

Plastering is typically done during renovations or repairs, but areas that get damaged or cracked might need touch-ups every few years to keep your walls looking their best.

Can plasterers fix cracks in walls?

Absolutely. Experienced plasterers can repair everything from tiny hairline cracks to larger, more serious damage, leaving your walls smooth and ready for decorating.

How long does plastering take?

The time depends on the size and complexity of the job, but a skilled plasterer can usually complete a typical room in a few days, including drying time.

How can I tell if my plaster needs repairing?

If you notice cracks, bubbling, damp patches, or crumbling plaster, it’s a good sign you should get a professional plasterer to assess and fix the problem.

What types of plaster do plasterers work with?

Professional plasterers are trained in a variety of plaster types, like traditional lime plaster, gypsum plaster, and modern finishing plasters, and will recommend the best option for your home and project.

Extensions- 28 Feb 2018
Craig and James turned up on time to give a most competitive quote. After quote accepted the team turned up on time and a core of 4 guys worked like Trojan's with Craig and/or James appearing every day to check on the project progress. The site team were most professional and all had excellent knowledge of their specialist areas. Over the two weeks plus on site, the guys cleaned up every day and left the site spotless. On completion Craig and James inspected the completed project and highlighted snags that I had not noticed. These snags were dealt with promptly and efficiently. An excellent experience and I would strongly recommend the Albar team and would use them again if the situation arose.

We recently bought a 100 year old, terraced house in Reading and it was un-livable. The kitchen was small and cramped, the floors were rotten and damp and the decor was outdated. It needed a complete make-over and revamp to release the wasted space. During the first stage, John managed the removal of a two floor chimney and two supporting walls to create an open plan kitchen living room diner. He opened up the back wall for some double doors to the garden and bricked up the old door and window openings. The new brickwork seamlessly blends into the existing wall and the finish was exquisite! The rotten floor was ripped up and treated, then a solid block and beam floor was installed. He levelled off 3 different floor heights and did a great screed job. He then designed and laid a unique, reclaimed slate floor in our kitchen and insulated, tacked and plastered the walls with a mirror finish, ready for the new kitchen. Next up was the upstairs bathroom, John raised the floor level, installed the drainage infrastructure, built a stud wall for the shower and washing machine/dryer. He insulated, tacked, plastered and tiled the walls and shower cubicle, built a beautiful bespoke corner storage system and installed the bathroom units. He also removed the walls behind the staircase and made good the walls in preparation for the new staircases in stage 2. John also created a new bespoke exposed brick fireplace which is now the centre piece of our living room! Stage 2 has just started and we are so pleased John was able to come back. He exposed the ceiling opening in preparation for the new attic staircase. He then prepared the understairs area for a new wet room/toilet and designed and implemented a new sewage system. He then replaced all the damaged gutters on the roof. John is currently working on the understairs wetroom as well as the attic conversion. In summary, John is dependable, reliable and a great guy to be around. He has a wide skill set, a pragmatic mind and produces fine work. He is always on-time, works extremely hard and his workmanship is second to none. We trust John explicitly, he is like family to us and has his own key to our house! He is also great with our cats and all our neighbours. We are always happy to open our door for John and his prospective clients, so as to give you a preview of the quality of workmanship you would receive if you employed John for your construction requirements.

Plastering- 1 Nov 2025
Turned up late on day they was meant to start and Phil left Finley to take all renderings off. Turned up late on the second day late again. Third day he said family stuff and said they would be after lunch but didn’t turn up. He asked me for part payment for the job. So was meant to come on Saturday but didn’t turn up. On the Monday he had a medical emergency with Finley ended up in hospital then they come on Tuesday they worked all day until it started getting dark had to leave some stuff on wall to dry. I had to get another lintel. Came on the Thursday to work all day to get the job finished. But still cables to put back on the wall so I said I’m not paying the rest until cables back on they turn up that day to put cables on.The job finished was very good if time management was better they would have a better review off me then I paid rest of job asked a few things after but now not replying to my messages. Apart from time keeping overall job is 100% better

Chris did a decent job with the paint repairs. Was punctual and provided excellent updates re how the work progressed. The outdoor timber work has not stood the test of time that well one year on but the interior work is fine. Reasonable on price and does a good job.
