Preparation chosen for the actual defect
No paint over loose plaster
We remove weak areas before rebuilding or preparing the surface.
Local repairs stay focused
We avoid treating a whole wall when sound surrounding plaster can remain.
Decoration follows drying
We can paint once repaired areas are ready for final preparation.
Fix worn walls instead of covering them
Loose plaster, rough patches and failing old paint will still be there after a colour change. We attend properties in Strood to assess the wall before choosing the preparation. Small defects may need filling and sanding, a failed local area may require plaster repair, and broader unevenness can call for more extensive surface work. We remove unsound material where required, rebuild damaged sections and prepare the wall for its next finish. Because plastering and decorating are linked within our service range, you do not need to arrange a separate provider once the repaired background is ready.
Help us understand coatings, damage and access
Photographs can reveal the spread of loose paint, cracking and damaged plaster before we travel from Gillingham. Send close images and wider room views, then explain what coatings are already present and whether any patch has failed before. For work in Strood, access to the full wall matters, so tell us about fixed furniture, narrow approaches and parking arrangements. Once the required repair and preparation are complete and dry, we can apply the agreed paint. A wider wall repaint may be considered where a small colour match would leave the repaired section obvious.
Frequently asked questions
Can you repair one loose patch in a Strood property?
Yes, if the surrounding plaster is sound and the defect is local. We inspect beyond the visible edge, remove unsound material and rebuild the area. Hidden looseness can sometimes increase the repair size.
Should old paint be removed before decorating?
Loose or failing coating needs to come away so the new paint is not relying on a weak layer. Sound areas may need cleaning, keying or other preparation according to their condition and the coating planned.
What photographs help with a plaster repair enquiry?
Send a close view of the damaged area, a wider image showing the full wall and any pictures of cracks or loose edges. Notes about previous repairs, property access and parking also help us plan attendance.
