Plastering and Glasgow homes
Glasgow is a city of red and blond sandstone tenements, from the West End and Southside to Dennistoun, alongside interwar cottage flats, post-war council schemes on the edges of the city and a fair number of high-rise flats.
- Older tenements often have lath-and-plaster ceilings and decorative cornice, which call for repair skills rather than a quick board-and-skim.
- Solid stone walls are often finished with traditional plaster on the hard. Damp patches should be diagnosed before re-plastering, and lime may be the right material.
- Ex-council houses from the 1960s–90s often have artex ceilings, and artex applied before 2000 may contain asbestos. Test before sanding or scraping.
- Concrete walls in high-rise flats usually need bonding coats before skimming.
- Historic interiors may call for lime plaster and repairs to the original cornice.
Areas covered include West End, Southside, Merchant City, Dennistoun, Shawlands, Partick, Govan, Springburn, Easterhouse, Knightswood, Pollokshields, Cathcart. Local authority: Glasgow City Council.

Questions
Does it cost me anything?
No. It's free for homeowners and tenants. Some tradespeople pay us a small fee for an introduction.
How many people will contact me?
One. We share your request with one local tradesperson only. If they can't help, we'll ask you before passing it to anyone else.
