We repair cracked plaster walls, drywall, ceilings, and plasterboard joints across Norfolk — and we make sure the fix stays fixed. Serving Hunstanton, Kings Lynn, Norwich, and all North Norfolk.
Most cracks aren't your foundation — they're your plaster or drywall settling
Understanding what's behind the crack is the first step to fixing it for good. Here's what we typically find in Norfolk homes — whether you have traditional lath-and-plaster or modern drywall.
Structural movement
Seasonal ground shrinkage or minor settlement creates stress lines that follow mortar joints.
Old plaster drying out
Taped joints fail when drywall boards shift with temperature and humidity, creating a long horizontal or vertical split. Very common in newer Norfolk builds and extensions.
Plasterboard joint stress
Taped joints fail when boards move slightly, creating a long horizontal or vertical split.
Impact damage
Doors swung into walls, furniture bumped during moves — straightforward to patch when caught early.
Poor previous repairs
A skim coat over a crack without addressing the cause guarantees it returns — and we see this a lot.
Can you repair cracked walls and drywall without replacing the whole wall?
In most cases, yes. We assess the crack type and underlying cause, then apply a repair method that restores strength without removing sound plaster or drywall. For Norfolk homes, that usually means stitching, re-taping drywall joints, re-scrimming, or selective board replacement when needed.
A straightforward approach to fixing cracked walls and drywall for good
We don't patch cracks and hope for the best. Our process tackles the root cause so the repair lasts.
Complete assessment
We inspect the crack and the wall behind it to understand the real problem.
Taping & joint reinforcement
For drywall and plasterboard cracks, we apply fresh joint tape and compound to reinforce the seam and prevent the crack from returning.
Skim coat finish
We apply fresh plaster in thin layers, feathering the edges so the repair blends in.
Sanding & priming
Once dry, we sand flush and prime so the final paint matches the surrounding wall seamlessly.
Final paint finish
We match your existing paint colour and apply a smooth top coat — no patch visible.
