G Lee Plastering

Plasterer in Stainsby, Derbyshire

Internal plastering, external rendering, skimming, lime plastering and damp proofing, about 7 miles east of Chesterfield, in the Bolsover and Clowne coalfield.

Stainsby is a former mining community about 7 miles east of Chesterfield, in the Bolsover and Clowne coalfield, with terraced and semi-detached streets built for the pit and ironworks trade. It sits close to Hardstoft and Hardstoft Common, 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.

Stainsby Plastering FAQs

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

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 Stainsby job before we finish.

Can you render the outside of my house in Stainsby?

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

Do you deal with damp issues in Stainsby 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 Stainsby?

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 Stainsby?

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 Stainsby?

No, Stainsby falls inside our normal coverage area, about 7 miles east of Chesterfield, in the Bolsover and Clowne coalfield, so there's no additional travel charge for jobs there.
