Plasterers in Ashton-under-Lyne& damp proof specialists.
Ten minutes down the road from us. We work across Ashton most weeks, in everything from town-centre terraces to units on the industrial estates.
What we see in Ashton-under-Lyne homes
Ashton is a real mix: dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and Hurst, inter-war semis out towards Waterloo and Smallshaw, and newer estates at Ashton Moss.
The older terraces were built on clay with slate damp courses that are now well past their intended life, which is why rising damp is the job we're called to most often here.

- Blown plaster on solid brick walls that have been repeatedly patched
- Artex ceilings throughout the 1960s and 70s semis

Common damp issues
- Failed slate damp proof courses in pre-1920 terraces
- Ground levels raised by later paving and driveways

Plastering & damp in Ashton-under-Lyne — asked locally
Tide marks about a metre up, salting on the plaster and skirtings that crumble when pressed are the usual signs. Plenty of what gets called rising damp in Ashton is actually a bridged damp course or a leaking gutter, which is far cheaper to put right.
