1929 House Renovation

Leicester

Ceiling drywall installation and full bathroom. Plastering package for whole house keeping character features in mind.

Project Overview

A full replaster of a 1920s home, keeping as many of its original features as possible. We installed new drywall on every ceiling and in the bathroom, then plastered the house from top to bottom.

The work included the kitchen being knocked through to the dining room and the upstairs toilet and bathroom being combined into one room.

Curved ceilings and sloped roof sections, which the client wanted to keep, called for precise drywall work throughout.

Scope of work

Ceiling Boarding

All ceilings across the property were fully plaster boarded, with boards securely fixed to ceiling joists and structural framing. Particular attention was given to:

Correct board alignment
Secure screw fixing patterns
Strong ceiling support to prevent movement or cracking

Finish Plastering

Following the installation of all plasterboard systems, the entire property was completed with high-quality finish plastering across all walls and ceilings.

This stage involved:

Preparation of plasterboard joints and surfaces
Application of finishing plaster to all boarded surfaces
Careful trowelling to achieve smooth, consistent, decoration-ready finishes The result was a clean, professional finish across approximately 550 square metres of internal surfaces, ready for painting and final interior installation.
