G Lee Plastering

Plasterer in Poolsbrook, Derbyshire

Internal plastering, external rendering, skimming, lime plastering and damp proofing, about 2 miles north-east of Chesterfield, in the Staveley and Whittington belt.

Poolsbrook grew up around the old colliery trade about 2 miles north-east of Chesterfield, in the Staveley and Whittington belt, and a lot of the housing still reflects that. It sits close to Middlecroft and Hollingwood, 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.

Poolsbrook Plastering FAQs

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

Can you render the outside of my house in Poolsbrook?

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

Do you deal with damp issues in Poolsbrook 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 Poolsbrook?

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.

Will render crack if it's applied in the wrong weather?

Applying render too fast in hot weather or in freezing conditions both increase the risk of cracking, which is why we work to the conditions rather than a fixed schedule.

Are you insured for work in Poolsbrook?

Yes, we carry full public liability insurance for all plastering, rendering and damp proofing work we carry out.

Is there an extra charge for travelling out to Poolsbrook?

No, Poolsbrook falls inside our normal coverage area, about 2 miles north-east of Chesterfield, in the Staveley and Whittington belt, so there's no additional travel charge for jobs there.

Do render finishes come in different colours?

Render can be through-coloured or painted after curing, we'll go through the options so the finish matches what you want for your property.
