Cracks and loose plaster
We investigate visible damage, remove unsound material where needed and complete a suitable repair before refinishing the area.
Plastering repairs in Leeds.
Cracks, holes and damaged plaster, properly repaired. We provide careful plaster patchwork across Leeds for damaged walls and ceilings, removed fixtures, altered openings and the everyday knocks that leave a room looking unfinished.
Plastering repairs in Leeds for damaged walls and ceilings.
A good plaster repair should restore the damaged area and blend it carefully into the surrounding surface, giving decoration a clean and stable foundation.
Older homes can develop loose or cracked plaster, while renovations often leave holes after sockets, fixtures, doors or pipework are moved. We assess the cause, remove unsound material where required and build the repair correctly before finishing it.

A crack can tell you more than it first appears.
Covering a symptom does not solve an underlying problem.
Some damage is straightforward, but recurring cracks, movement, damp or widespread hollow plaster may point to an issue that needs attention before a cosmetic patch. A larger damaged area may also be better boarded or skimmed as a whole.
We inspect the background and explain the appropriate repair before quoting, so the work is based on the condition we actually find.
A sound repair, finished to blend in.
- 01
Understand the damage
We inspect the area, its background and any signs that the damage has an underlying cause.
- 02
Protect the room
Floors, furniture and nearby finishes are protected before the repair work begins.
- 03
Remove and prepare
Unsound material is removed where required and the edges and background are prepared for the chosen repair.
- 04
Build the patch
The damaged area is filled or rebuilt with suitable materials, allowing for the depth and construction of the surface.
- 05
Blend and tidy
The repair is finished into the surrounding plaster, the work area is cleared and we explain when it can be decorated.

Examples of FMJ plasterwork where sound preparation, tidy edges and a consistent finish help repaired areas sit naturally within the room.
Repairs handled with care.
“They repaired a door opening where patio doors had been removed and patched a few areas of cracked plaster. Freddy was very responsive and easy to work with.”
“The whole team was friendly, polite and professional. Parts of the coving were far from easy, and Freddy would not rest until it was done right.”
“They always leave the house immaculately clean and are very respectful workers. Thanks for the great work.”
Useful answers before a repair.
Send photographs or arrange a visit and we will explain whether the area needs a local patch, wider skimming, new board or another form of preparation.
What kinds of plaster damage can you repair?
We repair many common forms of local damage, including holes, cracks, loose patches and areas disturbed by removed fixtures, pipework, sockets or altered openings.
Can you make a patch completely invisible?
We work to blend the repair into the surrounding plaster as neatly as possible. The final visual result also depends on the existing wall texture, lighting and how the whole area is prepared and decorated afterward.
Can every crack simply be filled?
No. A recurring crack can be caused by movement, a weak background or another underlying issue. We assess the area first and explain if something else needs attention before plaster repair.
Will you repair damage after electrical or plumbing work?
Yes. Once the electrical or plumbing work is complete and the area is ready, we can make good suitable chases, openings and local damage around the work.
When can I paint the repaired plaster?
The repair must be completely dry before decoration. Drying time varies with repair depth, ventilation and room conditions, so we will give practical guidance when the work is finished.
Can I get a quote before agreeing to anything?
Of course. We provide a clear quote before anything is agreed and make sure you are comfortable with the proposed work before it begins.
