Plastering and Aberdeen homes
Aberdeen is the 'Granite City': most older houses and tenements in Rosemount, Ferryhill and the West End are built of grey granite, with council housing in areas like Mastrick and Northfield and plenty of newer estates around Bridge of Don, Dyce and Cove.
- Granite walls are usually lined or finished with traditional plaster. Damp needs diagnosing before replastering.
- Older tenements often have lath-and-plaster ceilings and decorative cornice, which call for repair skills rather than a quick board-and-skim.
- Ex-council houses from the 1960s–90s often have artex ceilings, and artex applied before 2000 may contain asbestos. Test before sanding or scraping.
- Newer homes are mostly plasterboard, so common jobs are skimming, patching settlement cracks and boarding lofts.
- Render and roughcast on exposed walls needs to be in good order to keep out driving rain.
Areas covered include Rosemount, Ferryhill, Old Aberdeen, Torry, Kincorth, Bridge of Don, Dyce, Cults, Mastrick, Northfield, Garthdee, Cove Bay. Local authority: Aberdeen City Council.
