Homes in Dún Laoghaire & South Coast and what that means for plastering work
Victorian terraces and large granite and brick villas in Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney, with mid-century homes around Blackrock and Booterstown. Sea exposure is high along the whole stretch.
Period homes often have lime plaster on solid walls and decorative cornices, so repairs need breathable materials and patching that blends with the original. 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

What plastering issues are common in Dún Laoghaire & South Coast?
Period homes often have lime plaster on solid walls and decorative cornices, so repairs need breathable materials and patching that blends with the original. 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.
