Plastering for Poulton-le-Fylde Homes
The plastering side of the business is just as busy in Poulton-le-Fylde as the rendering. The period properties around the town centre keep us on re-skims and patch repairs, because hundred-year-old walls rarely stay flat, while the newer houses and extensions are more about plasterboarding and fresh skimming ready for paint.
Having one firm for inside and out keeps a job simple. If we're rendering the outside of your house and the hall needs skimming while we're there, it's one quote and one point of contact. We do internal and external plastering for homes, commercial and industrial properties across Poulton and the villages.

Where We Cover in Poulton-le-Fylde
Poulton's housing runs the full range. Around the town centre you've got period properties and older brick terraces, most still showing their original brick or an old sand and cement render. Head out towards Carleton and Hardhorn and it's big brick estates from the 60s, 70s and 80s: semis, detacheds and bungalows, plenty of them pebble dashed or roughcast when they were built. Then there are the newer developments on the edges of town, where the job is usually matching render on an extension rather than a full re-render.
Poulton sits a few miles inland, so walls here don't take the salt battering the seafront gets at Cleveleys and Blackpool. What they do get is everything else the Fylde throws at them: driving rain, wet winters and freeze-thaw that opens up hairline cracks in old cement render. Sheltered, tree-lined plots also mean shaded elevations hold damp and grow green. That's why we lean towards silicone systems here, flexible enough to handle movement and self-cleaning enough to stay looking right.
We work right across Poulton-le-Fylde, including Staining, Hardhorn and Singleton, and out into the surrounding towns and villages.

Plastering Questions
It depends on the state of the walls more than anything. A re-skim over sound plaster costs a lot less than hacking off, reboarding and skimming from scratch. Rather than quote blind, we look at the job and give you a free written quote, usually within 48 hours, so you know the full price before we mix a bag.
Usually, yes. If the old surface is sound and well stuck we can prep it and skim straight over, which keeps the cost and the mess down. If it's blown, damp or crumbling, skimming over it just hides the problem for a year or two. We'll check it properly and tell you which one you're dealing with before we quote.
You need to let it dry out fully first. Fresh plaster turns from dark to a pale, even colour as it dries, often around a week depending on the room, the season and how much heat and airflow it gets. Paint it too early and you seal moisture in. When we finish we'll tell you when it's safe to get the rollers out.
