Plastering and damp proofing in Bedlington

Bedlington is a former mining town in south east Northumberland, made up of Bedlington itself and Bedlington Station. We already work here, and a Bedlington customer has reviewed us on this page.

Local knowledge

Homes in Bedlington

The town grew around coal mining, and older streets have colliery terraces with solid walls and, often, a damp proof course that no longer works.

Front Street and the older centre have stone buildings with their own repair needs, while newer estates around the town are mostly cavity-wall homes.

In the older homes, damp is the most common job. In the newer ones, it is skimming, plasterboarding and dealing with condensation.

What we see

Common problems in Bedlington

We find the cause before we quote, so the fix lasts and you only pay for what the job needs.

Rising damp in colliery terraces

Older terraces often have a failed damp proof course. A new one, with the damaged plaster replaced, solves the problem properly.

Uneven and patched walls

Years of patch repairs leave walls uneven. A float and set or a skim gives a flat finish ready for decorating.

Condensation in newer homes

Mould on cold walls and in corners is usually condensation. We look at the cause as well as the walls.

“On pricing this job, the customer used an 'experienced tradesman' who used a steamer to remove wallpaper from plasterboard walls and they were removing the jointing tape and the skin from the plasterboard, thus leaving an unlevel surface. I suggested reboarding but they said they didn't have a lot of money to play with. While the 'tradesman' was removing the wallpaper the customer demanded via text that I go that very minute to see what a mess this tradesman was making. While we were working, her husband commented on how we were the best tradesmen they'd had, as we just got on with the job. I'd mistakingly missed out a price for a ceiling, so I skimmed that for no extra charge as the price had already been agreed. (No mention of this was in her review however). We always ask customers to check the work before we leave and both said they were 'over the moon' with the work and they paid via bank transfer a few hours after I'd left. It's clear the 'tradesman' hasn't prepped the newly plastered walls properly, as the paint has now blebbed. That's not a fault with the plastering, but with the lack of preparation on the decorator's behalf. It took 7 days for the customer to let me know she wasn't happy (and that was after the walls had been painted!).”

“Dean came out to give me a quote, he knew what needed doing and I was happy with what he quoted. He took down 2 ceilings, replaced them, skimmed and then put up some coving. I can’t fault his work at all, the ceilings look amazing, he left my home clean and tidy. I’d highly recommend. .”

“Dean at Absolutely Plastered is the only tradesmen I know that I can rely on! He always responds to requests! In this instance, we wanted some pretty poor brickwork covered at back of house & Dean advised other options that I was not aware...”

“I had Absolutely Plastered out to inspect a damp problem in my home, he was knowledgeable and we agreed a price. Dean was prompt, came out when he said he would, installed a new damp course and plastered. Very reasonable and I’d highly recommend.”

“Advertised for a garage conversion at short notice did not expect to get it done so quickly. Dene and his team worked 12 hrs a day as my Tennent went on holiday for 2 weeks and it was all done for their return, Dene even managed to do decorating and flooring too in my budget. Brilliant job by all the team.”
