Why Choose Fixiz for Plastering in Edgware?
Edgware has a high concentration of inter-war semis, Victorian terraces, and 1960s homes — properties where original lime plaster, hollow sections, and damp-affected backgrounds are all common challenges. Plastering these surfaces properly requires the right backing coats, correct drying times, and an experienced eye for surface preparation. Fixiz takes the time to do the job correctly: we assess the background, prepare it properly, and deliver a smooth, hard, paint-ready finish that lasts.

What Edgware Customers Say About Fixiz
Honest reviews from homeowners across North London.
“Had two rooms and the hallway skimmed after a damp treatment. The finish is absolutely flawless — you genuinely cannot tell where the old plaster ends and the new starts. Very tidy team and a fair price.”
— Claire M., Crouch End
“Fixiz replastered the whole ground floor of my Victorian terrace. They stripped the old lime plaster, applied the right backing coats, and left everything perfectly smooth and ready for decorating. Could not be happier.”
— James P., Highbury
“We had a large patch on the ceiling that three other plasterers had tried and failed to blend properly. Fixiz got it right first time — completely invisible under the paint. Honest, professional, and very good value.”
— Nadia R., Hampstead
Plastering Edgware — FAQs
Common questions about plastering in Edgware.
How long does plastering take to dry in Edgware before I can decorate?
A fresh skim coat typically takes 3–7 days before applying a mist coat (diluted emulsion). Full drying before normal paint takes 2–4 weeks depending on temperature and ventilation. We advise on drying times for every job — painting too soon traps moisture and causes peeling.
Can you plaster over the existing plaster without stripping it?
Yes, if the existing plaster is sound and well bonded. We test for hollow areas by tapping across the surface. If significant hollow areas are found, a full strip is the correct and more durable solution. We always tell you honestly which approach is right for your property in Edgware.
Do you work on Victorian and Edwardian properties with lime plaster in Edgware?
Yes — Edgware has many period properties with original lime plaster. We use compatible backing coats and preparation methods rather than applying incompatible modern gypsum directly onto lime. Getting this right is the difference between a finish that lasts decades and one that fails within a year.
Can you plaster after damp proofing work in Edgware?
Yes. After chemical damp proof injection, walls must be replastered with a salt-resistant render before finishing. Standard gypsum skim applied directly to a previously damp wall will fail as hygroscopic salts migrate through. We use the correct render specification and observe required drying periods before the finish coat.
How much does it cost to plaster a room in Edgware?
A standard room skim in Edgware typically costs £400–£700 including labour and materials. A full replaster — stripping back to brick and starting again — typically costs £600–£1,200 depending on the background condition. We provide written quotes after a free site visit with no obligation.
