What plasterers in Dunfermline typically handle
A plasterer applies plaster and rendering to walls and ceilings — skimming, dry-lining, traditional plaster on lath, ornate cornicing repair, external rendering and harling. Scotland's older properties make this a more demanding trade than a smooth-walled new-build estate.
Common jobs: Re-skim of a room; Dry-lining a wall; Cornicing repair; External rendering or harling; Repair after damp treatment; Patch repair around a new door or window.
When to call vs when to DIY
Filling small cracks or holes with ready-mixed filler is easy. Skimming a whole wall flat is genuinely hard and a botched job costs more to fix than to do properly first time.
