Plastering, Crack Repair & Making Good (Hallway Water Damage)

£200

Newport, North Yorkshire

3rd Nov 2026

I need an experienced plasterer/decorator to repair a small hallway area that has suffered from historical water damage. The leak itself has been resolved. Here is the exact scope of works based on the photos provided: Plastering & Skimming: Scrape back the peeling/damaged plaster, make good, and re-skim the walls and ceiling sections affected by the heavy water staining.  Hole Repair: Patch and plaster a visible hole in the ceiling corner where it meets the wall.  Crack Repair: Rake out, fill, and repair a severe vertical crack running down the wall alongside the door frame. Decorating: Apply a heavy-duty stain-blocking primer (like Zinsser BIN) over the repaired areas and repaint the walls and ceiling to finish. Requirements: Please include the cost of all materials (plaster, filler, stain block, and paint) in your quote. Must have your own tools and dust sheets to protect the carpets.
