Plasterer in Slack, Derbyshire
Internal plastering, external rendering, skimming, lime plastering and damp proofing, about 5 miles west of Chesterfield, out towards Ashover and the Peak District fringe.
Out west of Chesterfield, out towards Ashover and the Peak District fringe, Slack is one of the more scattered, rural corners of our patch. It sits close to Kelstedge and Dalebank, so jobs here often come alongside work in those neighbouring areas. There isn't much passing trade this far out, but we still travel for jobs of any size, whatever the property age.
No job is too small out here, and we quote every enquiry free regardless of how far out it is.

MoreSlack Plastering FAQs
Questions we get asked most about plastering, rendering and damp proofing jobs in Slack and the surrounding Derbyshire area.
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 Slack we see a mix of both, so we assess each property individually.
Do you deal with damp issues in Slack 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 Slack?
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 Slack?
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 Slack?
No, Slack falls inside our normal coverage area, about 5 miles west of Chesterfield, out towards Ashover and the Peak District fringe, 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.
Do you handle urgent or emergency plaster repairs?
Where we can, yes, a collapsed ceiling or water-damaged wall in Slack is the kind of job we'll try to prioritise, call 01246 460 078 to discuss.
