{"children":[],"content":"<h2>What the job involves</h2><p>Holes and cracks in walls are easy to make and easy to ignore. But paint cannot hide them, and one damaged patch makes a whole room look rough.</p><p>Damaged plasterboard gets cut out and replaced. Cracks are filled and taped so they do not come back. Water-damaged plaster is removed and made good. The repair is sanded flat and ready for paint.</p><h3>What's included</h3><ul><li>Holes and dents in walls and ceilings</li><li>Cracks along joints and corners</li><li>Water-damaged plaster cut out and replaced</li><li>New plasterboard fitted and finished</li><li>Sanding and sealing ready for decoration</li></ul><p>Repairs pair well with painting, so a patch can become a finished wall in one booking.</p><h2>Common questions</h2><h3>What is the difference between plaster and plasterboard?</h3><p>Plasterboard is the flat board fixed to the wall or ceiling. Plaster is the smooth skim on top. Both get repaired here.</p><h3>There is a brown stain on my ceiling. Can you fix it?</h3><p>Yes, but the leak has to be stopped first, or the stain comes straight back. Once it is dry the damaged section is cut out and replaced.</p><h3>Will the repair be invisible?</h3><p>Once it is sanded flat and painted, yes. Bare repairs always show, so the wall needs painting afterwards.</p><h3>Can you paint it once it is repaired?</h3><p>Yes, and doing both in one booking is cheaper. See <a href=\"/services/interior-painting-decorating\">interior painting and decorating</a>.</p><h3>Do you replaster whole rooms?</h3><p>Repairs and small areas, yes. A full re-skim of a whole room or house is a plasterer's job, and you will be told when that is what you actually need rather than being sold a patch that will not hold.</p><h3>Do you cover my area?</h3><p>We cover south west London, south London and Surrey, including Sutton, Wimbledon, Kingston upon Thames, Richmond, Clapham, Putney, Wandsworth, Epsom, Leatherhead and Dorking.
