Plastering for Edinburgh Homes

Edinburgh’s diverse architecture means plastering requirements vary widely. We have experience with all types of Edinburgh properties:

• Victorian and Edwardian villas in Morningside, Bruntsfield and Trinity — lath-and-plaster walls, ornate cornicing and period features that need careful repair
• Georgian townhouses in New Town and Stockbridge — original plasterwork preserved and restored to its former glory
• Tenement buildings across Marchmont, Newington and the Southside — plaster repairs and skim coats for walls that have seen decades of wear
• Modern homes and new builds — plasterboarding, over-boarding and fresh skim coats for clean, smooth walls

We always start with a thorough assessment of the existing plasterwork, identify any underlying issues, and recommend the right approach. For a detailed breakdown of what to expect, see our painter and decorator costs guide.
