Homes in North County Dublin and what that means for plastering work
Fast-growing towns with a lot of 1990s–2010s estate housing, especially in Swords and Lusk, plus older cottages and seafront homes in Rush and Skerries. The coastal towns are exposed to strong easterly weather.
Newer homes are mostly plasterboard, so settlement cracks at joints and ceiling repairs after leaks or new wiring are typical jobs. 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 Swords, Lusk, Rush and Skerries?
Yes. North County Dublin includes Swords, Lusk, Rush and Skerries. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What plastering issues are common in North County Dublin?
Newer homes are mostly plasterboard, so settlement cracks at joints and ceiling repairs after leaks or new wiring are typical jobs. 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.
