Homes in Dublin North Coast and what that means for plastering work
Mostly 1960s–1980s semi-detached estates in Raheny, Donaghmede and Baldoyle, with older and larger homes in Howth, Sutton and Malahide. Much of the area faces the sea, so salt air and wind-driven rain are a real factor for roofs, render, gutters and external paintwork.
Mid-century homes usually have sand-and-cement or gypsum plaster that cracks with age, and skimming over sound surfaces is the common fix. Coastal exposure is hard on external render, so cracked or blown render and salt staining are common near the sea.
What to check before you hire a plasterer
- Ask whether loose or blown plaster will be removed or skimmed over
- For period homes, ask whether they work with lime
- Confirm floors and furniture will be protected and the room cleaned
- Ask how long to wait before painting
- Ask for photos of recent similar work

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Raheny, Baldoyle, Donaghmede, Howth, Sutton, Portmarnock and Malahide?
Yes. Dublin North Coast includes Raheny, Baldoyle, Donaghmede, Howth, Sutton, Portmarnock and Malahide. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What plastering issues are common in Dublin North Coast?
Mid-century homes usually have sand-and-cement or gypsum plaster that cracks with age, and skimming over sound surfaces is the common fix. Coastal exposure is hard on external render, so cracked or blown render and salt staining are common near the sea.
How long before I can paint new plaster?
A skim usually needs about a week to dry, longer in cold weather, and should look evenly pale. Use a diluted mist coat first.
Can new plaster go over old plaster?
If the old plaster is sound, it can be skimmed. Blown or loose plaster must be removed first.
What is blown plaster?
Plaster that has come away from the wall behind it. It sounds hollow when tapped and often cracks or bulges.
Should old houses be plastered with lime?
Usually, yes. Lime lets solid walls breathe, while gypsum and cement can trap moisture in older walls.
