Plastering in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
Bury St Edmunds mixes centuries-old homes with brand new estates, and we plaster both. Smooth skim finishes, ceiling repairs, careful work in period rooms. Every quote is free and there is no pressure to book.
Bury St Edmunds is a real mix. Wander through the older parts of town and you find period homes with plenty of history in their walls, then head out to the newer estates and it is a different story altogether. We plaster across both, and we adjust how we work to suit the house rather than treating every job the same.
Skim finishes are our bread and butter here. If your walls have gone tired, marked or slightly uneven over the years, a fresh skim pulls everything back flat and smooth, giving you a clean surface that paints up beautifully. On modern estate homes we often skim over new plasterboard for that crisp finish, and on older Bury properties we take a gentler approach where the walls need respecting.
Ceiling repairs are another big one. Whether a ceiling has cracked, stained after a leak, or just looks rough, we can patch it or re-skim the whole thing so it looks fresh again. Alongside that we cover re-plastering, plasterboarding, coving and decorative mouldings, patch repairs and fire-rated plasterboard when a room calls for it.
We work all around the IP32 and IP33 postcodes, covering the town and the surrounding villages. With LDR you get Luke on the tools, not a rotating crew of strangers. He turns up on time, keeps the place clean, sheets up your furniture and floors, and clears away properly at the end so you are not left with the mess.
LDR Plastering and Rendering Specialists Ltd is fully insured, and every quote is free with no obligation. If you want a room skimming or a ceiling putting right in Bury St Edmunds, give Luke a ring on 07388 771580 and we will come out and have a look.

Plastering in Bury St Edmunds: common questions
My ceiling cracked after a leak. Can it be repaired rather than replaced?
Usually, yes. If the ceiling is still sound underneath we can patch and re-skim it so the crack and staining disappear. If the damage runs deeper we will say so. Either way the look is free and honest.
Do you plaster new-build and estate homes as well as older ones?
We do both across Bury St Edmunds. New estate homes often just need a clean skim over the boards, while older houses need a bit more care. Ring Luke on 07388 771580 and we will sort a free quote.
What our customers say
"Luke and his team are some of the finest building contractors I have had the pleasure of dealing with over the last 25 years. The work completed for us was first class and the guys were respectful, polite and extremely tidy. Absolutely delighted with the finish and we'd have no hesitation in recommending Luke and LDR to anyone. Gary Baldwin - Eye, Suffolk"
"We are thrilled with the work that Luke, Brandon and Kirk have completed for us on our home. It has completely transformed the property, and given it a whole new identity. We had admired LDR's work in a nearby village on a number of properties, when we finally decided to approach Luke and team for a quotation, which we found to be very reasonable. Luke worked with us very openly and without pressure on a timeframe for completing our works, navigating inclement weather and our personal reservations. The team worked in a efficient, orderly and clean manner whilst at our property and filled us with great confidence that we had chosen the right contractor. An incredibly friendly, amenable and jovial team, and we thoroughly enjoyed having them around and can't thank you all enough for helping us make our house finally look more like a home"
"Luke and his team have done a few plastering jobs for us and we can't recommend them highly enough. Polite, efficient, tidy and work that is carried out to a high standard. When we need more work doing Luke will be our first point of contact."
"The LDR team we're great, they carried out internal plastering and and house rendering for us and we are really happy. Luke communicated well and was flexible to help us hit certain dates as to not slow down the project. We still have elements to finish so will be in touch in the near future."
"Outstanding work by conscientious workers.They take real pride in their work. Arrive on time and leave when each stage finished even when this is quite late and beyond 'normal work hours' Always tidy up as they go. Very polite and appreciative. Good communication on what each stage involves and materials used and why. Chose K Rend in pearl on the three outbuildings and it looks amazing."
"Luke, Brandon and Kirk have just applied K rend to the front of my house. Cannot thank the guys enough for an amazing job! It's so hard to get tradesmen you can trust these days but I have to say I would 100% recommend LDR Plastering. Very professional and clean and tidy when working and Luke obviously cares about his customers. Just make sure you give them plenty cups of tea!!! Luke has also done plastering for us inside and again did an amazing job. Can't thank them enough. 5 stars!"
