Plastering in Diss, South Norfolk
Diss is home for us, so plastering here is a bit personal. We know the local cottages, the lime-plaster walls and the quirks that come with an old South Norfolk house. Careful work, a friendly face, and a free quote whenever you need one.
This is our patch. LDR is based near Diss, so when you call about a job in IP22 you are calling someone local who knows the streets and the houses on them. Plenty of homes round here are period cottages, and a good few still have their original lime-plaster walls. That old plaster does not behave like modern gypsum, so it pays to have someone who understands it before anyone starts skimming.
We take our time with these older walls. Rush a skim over lime plaster and it can go wrong quickly, so we prep properly and use the right approach for the surface we are working with. If a wall is too far gone, we will re-plaster it. If it just needs freshening up, a careful skim brings it back flat and smooth without losing the character of the place.
Alongside skimming and re-plastering, we handle plasterboarding, ceilings, coving and decorative mouldings, and patch repairs for those spots where the wall has cracked or crumbled in one corner. Cottage ceilings can be uneven and low, and we are used to working around beams and awkward shapes rather than fighting them. Need fire-rated plasterboard somewhere? We fit that as well.
Because Diss is right on our doorstep, getting to you is easy and we can usually swing by quickly to take a look. We cover the surrounding villages too, out across South Norfolk and just over the Suffolk border. You get Luke doing the work himself, keeping things tidy and explaining what he is up to as he goes.
LDR Plastering and Rendering Specialists Ltd is fully insured, and every quote is free with no obligation at all. Whether it is one tired wall or a whole cottage that needs sorting, give Luke a ring on 07388 771580 and we will come and have a proper look.

My cottage has old lime-plaster walls. Can they be skimmed?
Often yes, but lime plaster needs treating differently to modern plaster, so the prep matters. We check how sound the wall is first and choose the right method so the finish lasts. Being based in Diss, popping round for a look is easy, and it costs you nothing.
Are you actually based in Diss?
Yes, LDR is a Diss firm. That means we know the local houses and can usually get to you quickly for a quote or a job. Give Luke a call on 07388 771580.
Can you work around beams and low ceilings?
That is normal for us in older Diss cottages. We work with the beams and the shape of the room rather than against them, so the finish suits the house.
