Homes in North Dublin City and what that means for plastering work
A mix of Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces around Phibsborough, Stoneybatter, Drumcondra, Fairview and East Wall, and large 1930s–1950s housing schemes in Cabra, Artane and Coolock. Clontarf adds bigger period and mid-century family homes along the bay.
Period homes often have lime plaster on solid walls and decorative cornices, so repairs need breathable materials and patching that blends with the original. Mid-century homes usually have sand-and-cement or gypsum plaster that cracks with age, and skimming over sound surfaces is the common fix.
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 North Dublin City?
Period homes often have lime plaster on solid walls and decorative cornices, so repairs need breathable materials and patching that blends with the original. Mid-century homes usually have sand-and-cement or gypsum plaster that cracks with age, and skimming over sound surfaces is the common fix.
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.
