A Ceiling Problem Doesn’t Always Mean a New Ceiling
One of the biggest misconceptions homeowners have is assuming that every damaged ceiling needs replacing.
In many cases, this simply isn’t true.
Our first priority is always to inspect the ceiling thoroughly before recommending the best solution.
Depending on its condition we may advise:
- Local plaster repairs
- Repairing cracks
- Re-skimming
- Overboarding
- Partial plasterboard replacement
- Complete ceiling replacement
We never recommend unnecessary work.
Our goal is always to provide the safest, most cost-effective and longest-lasting repair possible.
Common Ceiling Problems We Repair
Every damaged ceiling is different.
Some have suffered from leaking pipes.
Others have been affected by roof leaks.
Some develop cracks naturally over time as properties settle.
Whatever the cause, we can help.
Water Damaged Ceilings
Water damage is one of the most common problems we encounter.
Signs include:
- Brown staining
- Bubbling paint
- Soft plaster
- Sagging ceilings
- Cracking
- Damp patches
Once the source of the leak has been repaired, we’ll assess the ceiling and determine whether it can be repaired or requires replacement.
Many ceilings only require localised repairs followed by professional skimming.
Cracked Ceilings
Small hairline cracks are common.
Larger cracks may indicate movement, failed plaster or structural issues.
We investigate the cause before repairing the ceiling properly rather than simply filling over the crack.
Sagging Ceilings
Sagging ceilings should never be ignored.
Older lath and plaster ceilings, water damaged ceilings and ageing plasterboard can all begin to fail.
Where necessary we can safely remove damaged sections, overboard existing ceilings or replace them completely.
Ceiling Holes
Whether caused by electricians installing spotlights, plumbers repairing pipework or accidental damage, we can seamlessly repair holes so the finished ceiling blends perfectly with the surrounding plaster.
Artex Ceilings
Many homes throughout Warwickshire still have textured Artex ceilings.
Rather than removing the Artex entirely, we can often professionally prepare and skim over it to create a smooth contemporary finish.
Our Ceiling Repair Process
Every repair follows a proven system.
Step One – Inspection
We carefully inspect the ceiling to identify the cause of the problem and determine the safest repair method.
Step Two – Protecting Your Home
Floors, furniture and surrounding areas are protected before work begins.
Keeping your home clean and tidy is a priority throughout every project.
Step Three – Preparation
Damaged plaster is removed.
Loose material is cleaned away.
The ceiling is stabilised and prepared ready for repair.
Step Four – Repair
Depending on the damage this may involve:
- Replacing damaged plasterboard
- Applying bonding coat
- Reinforcing cracks with scrim tape
- Overboarding
- Skimming using British Gypsum MultiFinish plaster
Step Five – Finishing
Every ceiling is finished to a smooth, paint-ready standard.
Once fully dry it is ready for decorating.
Water Damage Ceiling Repairs
Water damage is probably the single biggest reason customers contact Cooper Plastering.
Leaks can originate from:
- Bathrooms
- Central heating systems
- Burst pipes
- Roof leaks
- Loft water tanks
- Overflowing gutters
The first priority is always ensuring the leak has been repaired.
Once the ceiling has dried sufficiently we inspect the damage and recommend the best repair option.
Sometimes only a small repair is required.
Other times replacing damaged plasterboard provides the safest long-term solution.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Ceiling?
Many customers ask this question.
There isn’t one answer.
Every ceiling is different.
Repair may be appropriate if:
✔ Damage is localised
✔ The plaster remains sound
✔ Cracks are relatively minor
✔ Water damage is limited
✔ The ceiling remains structurally secure
Replacement may be recommended if:
✔ Large areas have collapsed
✔ The ceiling is sagging significantly
✔ Plasterboard has failed
✔ Water damage is extensive
✔ Old lath and plaster has become unsafe
We’ll always explain our recommendation and why we believe it’s the best solution.
Typical Ceiling Repair Costs
