Homes in West Dublin & Leixlip and what that means for plastering work
1960s–1980s estates in Palmerstown, Clondalkin and older parts of Lucan and Leixlip, a historic village core in Chapelizod, and one of Dublin's newest planned towns in Adamstown.
Mid-century homes usually have sand-and-cement or gypsum plaster that cracks with age, and skimming over sound surfaces is the common fix. Newer homes are mostly plasterboard, so settlement cracks at joints and ceiling repairs after leaks or new wiring are typical jobs.
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 Chapelizod, Palmerstown, Lucan, Leixlip, Adamstown and Clondalkin?

What plastering issues are common in West Dublin & Leixlip?
Mid-century homes usually have sand-and-cement or gypsum plaster that cracks with age, and skimming over sound surfaces is the common fix. Newer homes are mostly plasterboard, so settlement cracks at joints and ceiling repairs after leaks or new wiring are typical jobs.
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.
