G Lee Plastering

Plasterer in Handley, Derbyshire

Internal plastering, external rendering, skimming, lime plastering and damp proofing, about 9 miles north of Chesterfield, in the Eckington and Killamarsh area, North East Derbyshire.

Handley grew up around the old colliery trade about 9 miles north of Chesterfield, in the Eckington and Killamarsh area, North East Derbyshire, and a lot of the housing still reflects that. It sits close to Upperthorpe and Spancarr, so jobs here often come alongside work in those neighbouring areas. A lot of the housing stock here is older solid-wall terraces and semis without a cavity, so damp proofing alongside plastering comes up often.

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

Handley Plastering FAQs

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

How much does plastering cost in Handley?

Every job in Handley 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 Handley?

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

Will the job disrupt my Handley 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 Handley job before we finish.

Can you render the outside of my house in Handley?

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 Handley we see a mix of both, so we assess each property individually.

Do you deal with damp issues in Handley 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 Handley?

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.

Can you work alongside our builder on an extension?

We regularly work as part of a wider build team, coordinating with builders, electricians and other trades to plaster once first fix is complete.
