Plastering - Cyncoed, Cardiff

We were recently contacted by a client who had discovered significant water damage in her semi-detached property in Cyncoed, Cardiff. A slow but persistent roof leak had gone unnoticed during a particularly wet winter, resulting in damp patches, peeling paint, and crumbling plaster across the ceilings and upper walls of two bedrooms and a hallway.

Following the roof repair, she required a reliable local company specialising in plastering in Cardiff to fully restore the interior surfaces to their original condition.

Requirements

The client needed:

• Removal of all damaged and compromised plaster
• Treatment of walls and ceilings to prevent residual damp
• Full re-plastering of affected rooms, including new skim coats
• A smooth, paint-ready finish throughout
• A clean and efficient service with minimal disruption

Solution

Following a full damp inspection and moisture testing to confirm the walls were dry, our experienced plasterers prepared the surfaces by removing all loose material and sealing any residual staining with a stain-blocking primer. We applied a bonding coat where necessary, followed by two coats of finish plaster to create smooth, level walls and ceilings.

The work covered:

• Two double bedrooms
• Landing and upper hallway
• Partial ceiling repair in the stairwell

We protected flooring and fixtures throughout and used dust extractors to keep the environment as clean as possible during the process.

Results

The plastering work brought the home back to life, allowing Mrs. Hughes to redecorate without any signs of the previous water damage. Key benefits included:

• Flawless finish ready for painting within days
• Completely restored interior walls and ceilings after damage
• Improved insulation and moisture resistance from fresh plaster layers
• Increased property value and aesthetic appeal
