G Lee Plastering

Plasterer in Ford, Derbyshire

Internal plastering, external rendering, skimming, lime plastering and damp proofing, about 4 miles north-east of Chesterfield, in the Staveley and Whittington belt.

Ford is a former mining community about 4 miles north-east of Chesterfield, in the Staveley and Whittington belt, with terraced and semi-detached streets built for the pit and ironworks trade. It sits close to The Brushes and Sheepbridge, so jobs here often come alongside work in those neighbouring areas. The older terraced streets built for the pit and railway trade need proper attention to damp before any plastering goes ahead, and we're used to that combination of work.

Given the age of a lot of the housing stock here, we always check for damp before plastering rather than covering it up.

Ford Plastering FAQs

Questions we get asked most about plastering, rendering and damp proofing jobs in Ford and the surrounding Derbyshire area.

Do you do small jobs, or only full rooms?

Both, a lot of our work around Ford is small patch repairs rather than full rooms, no job is too small to quote.

How much does plastering cost in Ford?

Every job in Ford is priced after we've seen the work, either in person or from clear photos for smaller jobs, because room size, wall condition and the type of finish all affect the price. Call 01246 460 078 for a free, no-obligation quote.

Is there a call-out charge for a quote in Ford?

No, quoting is free. We'll come out to Ford, have a look at what needs doing, and talk you through the options before any commitment is made.

Will the job disrupt my Ford property for long?

We aim to keep disruption to a minimum. A standard skim is generally in and out within a day, and we always leave the work area as clean as we found it.

How long before I can decorate after plastering?

Fresh plaster is usually touch dry in 24 to 48 hours but needs longer to fully dry through, roughly a week per 5mm of thickness. We'll tell you the realistic window for your Ford job before we finish.

Can you render the outside of my house in Ford?

We can, rendering is one of our core services alongside internal plastering. We'll advise on the right finish for your property type and the local weather exposure.

What's the difference between lime plaster and standard plaster?

Lime plaster is breathable and flexible, suited to older solid-wall construction, while standard gypsum plaster suits modern cavity-wall properties. Around Ford we see a mix of both, so we assess each property individually.

Do you deal with damp issues in Ford properties?

Yes, alongside plastering we offer damp proofing, including damp proof membranes, chemical treatments and replastering affected walls once the source of the damp has been addressed.

Can you skim over existing artex?

In many cases yes, if the artex is sound we can skim directly over it. If it's damaged or you'd prefer it fully removed, we can strip it back and re-board first.

Are cheaper materials used to keep costs down?

No, we use proper trade materials rather than cutting corners, it's the reason our finishes hold up well over time and come with a full guarantee.

How soon can you start work in Ford?

It depends on our current workload, but we'll always give you a realistic start date when we quote. Call 01246 460 078 to check current availability.
