Plastering Services in Weymouth and Portland
The same team handles the whole job, from preparation to the clean-up. See our plastering in Dorset page for the rest of the county.
Re-plastering
Blown, crumbling or badly patched plaster taken back to a sound base and replastered, so the new finish lasts rather than cracking again.
Cracked and uneven ceilings re-skimmed, and loose lath and plaster ceilings boarded and skimmed, with coving if you’d like it.
Patches after rewiring, plumbing or damp repairs blended into the existing walls so they don’t show once painted.
Plasterboard fixed to brick, block or stud walls to straighten uneven rooms and finish extensions and loft conversions.
Traditional sand and cement render for house walls, extensions and garden walls, and repairs to render that has cracked in the sea air.

Georgian Terraces to Portland Stone plastering Weymouth homes
Weymouth has a wide range of homes: Georgian and Victorian terraces around the seafront and harbour, Portland stone houses and cottages on the island, and newer estates in Littlemoor, Preston and Chickerell.
Older properties often have lath and plaster ceilings, high rooms with original features and solid walls that have been patched over many years, so repairs need blending in with care. Where it suits the building, we can use lime plaster on older solid walls. In newer homes the work is usually a skim over tired walls, or finishing a new extension or loft room.
Houses this close to the sea take a lot of wind, rain and salt air, which is hard on outside walls. We repair cracked render and apply traditional sand and cement render to protect the brickwork.

Plasterers in Weymouth FAQs
Do you really cover Weymouth and Portland?
Yes. We’re based in Organford, about 40 minutes from Weymouth, and work across Weymouth, Portland and the villages around them, including Preston, Upwey, Chickerell and Wyke Regis, as well as the rest of Dorset.
How much does a plasterer cost in Weymouth?
It depends on the size of the job, the state of the existing plaster and whether it needs a skim, repairs or a full re-plaster. We come and look first, then give you a free, no-obligation quote with the work and the price set out clearly.
Can you plaster older homes and Portland stone cottages?
Yes. We blend repairs into the existing walls, deal with loose lath and plaster ceilings, and use lime plaster on older solid walls where it suits the building better than gypsum.
Can you plaster a holiday let between bookings?
Tell us when the property is free and we’ll plan the job around it. A single room is often skimmed in a day or two, and we’ll tell you how long the plaster needs to dry before you paint and get it ready for guests.
Do you repair render damaged by the sea air?
Yes. We cut out cracked or blown render and patch it with traditional sand and cement render, or re-render the wall if most of it has failed.
How long before I can paint new plaster?
A fresh skim usually needs a few days to a week to dry, depending on the weather and ventilation. It’s ready when the colour is an even light pink with no dark patches. Use a mist coat of watered-down emulsion first.
