What Our Customers Say

"Absolutely cracking job on our living room and hallway. The walls were in a right state — old Artex, cracks everywhere — and they've come up like brand new. Really clean workers too, hardly any mess to clear up. Would recommend to anyone."

DM

David Mitchell

"Had the whole upstairs skimmed after a botched DIY attempt. They sorted it out brilliantly — dead smooth finish, no fuss. Turned up when they said they would and the price was spot on. Proper tradesmen, these lads."

SH

Sarah Hughes

Salford

"Used Cracking Plastering for rendering on our extension and they were brilliant from start to finish. Great communication, top quality work and they even cleaned up better than they found it. Can't fault them at all."

JK

James Kirkland

Stockport

"We had water damage in the bedroom ceiling and were dreading the repair. These guys came out, assessed it, gave us an honest quote and had it looking perfect within a day. Genuinely impressed — you'd never know there was a problem."

LT

Lisa Thompson

Trafford

"I'm a landlord with a few properties in Manchester and I've used Cracking Plastering on three separate jobs now. They're always reliable, always competitively priced and the standard of work is consistently top-notch. Found my go-to plasterers — no need to look anywhere else. Cracking by name, cracking by nature."

FAQs

Common Questions

Got a question? We've probably answered it below. If not, just get in touch.

Pricing depends on the size of the room, the condition of the walls and the type of work needed. A single room skim typically starts from around £150–£300, while a full re-plaster may be £300–£600 per room. We always provide a free, no-obligation quote so you know exactly what you're paying before we start. No nasty surprises.

A standard single room skim can usually be completed in a day. Larger rooms, ceilings and re-boards may take 1–2 days. Full house projects obviously take a bit longer, but we'll give you a clear timeline before we start so you can plan around it. We work efficiently without cutting corners.

New plaster needs to dry fully before painting, which usually takes 2–4 weeks depending on the room's ventilation and time of year. You'll know it's ready when the plaster has turned from dark brown to a uniform light pink. We always advise applying a mist coat (watered-down emulsion) first before your top coats.

We ask that you clear smaller items from the room before we arrive. For larger pieces of furniture, we're happy to help shift them to the centre of the room and cover them with dust sheets. We protect all floors and surfaces with heavy-duty sheeting, and we clean up thoroughly when we're done.

We cover all of Greater Manchester including Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Bolton, Bury and Wigan. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just drop us a message and we'll let you know.

If your existing plaster is solid but just a bit rough or uneven, a skim coat is usually all you need. If the plaster is blown (hollow-sounding when you tap it), crumbling or very damp-damaged, you'll likely need a full re-plaster. We always assess the walls properly before quoting so we can advise the right approach — we won't sell you work you don't need.
