Common Wall Damage in Dover? We Fix It All

Common Patch Plastering Jobs in Dover

Wall damage happens to every home - whether it's from hanging picture frames, removing old shelves, or accidentally knocking into walls during furniture moves. In Dover's varied housing stock, from Victorian terraces in the town centre to Edwardian villas near Maison Dieu, plaster damage is almost inevitable.

Dover's historic properties present unique challenges. Older homes, particularly those near the castle or in the town centre, often have walls that have been subjected to multiple DIY attempts, electrical rewiring, or simply decades of wear. Coastal exposure means properties experience more moisture and temperature fluctuations, which can cause plaster to crack, bubble, or come away from underlying surfaces. These issues are particularly common in properties on steep hills like those in the Charlton area, where structural movement is more pronounced.

What Dover Customers Say

★★★★★
5-Star Reviews
★★★★★

"The Patch Doctor sorted out a right mess in my Victorian terrace after some dodgy DIY shelving left massive holes in my living room wall. They matched the original plasterwork perfectly - you can't even tell where the repairs were. Steve turned up on time, was super professional, and had the whole job done in under two hours. Reasonable price too. Saved me from having to replaster the entire wall, which would've cost a fortune. Highly recommend for anyone needing careful patch repairs."

"After our electrician chased some new wiring, my walls looked like they'd been through a war! The Patch Doctor made everything smooth again. They were brilliant at blending the new plaster so you can't see where the original wall ends and the repair begins. The team explained exactly what they were doing, cleaned up meticulously afterwards, and didn't leave any dust. Much cheaper and quicker than a full replaster. Fantastic local service that really knows older properties."

Frequently Asked Questions - Dover

Everything you need to know about patch plastering in Dover

How much does patch plastering cost in Dover? +
In Dover's varied property landscape - from Victorian terraces to modern Whitfield developments - patch plastering costs range from £80 for small repairs to £350 for larger areas. Small patches covering around 0.5m² typically start at £80, perfect for filling picture hook marks or minor wall damage common in our historic CT15, CT16, and CT17 postcodes. Medium repairs covering 1-2m², often found in older Maison Dieu area homes, begin at £150. Larger repairs addressing significant wall damage or preparing surfaces in period properties near Dover Castle start from £350. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden charges - the quote you receive is the price you'll pay. Every job is assessed individually, considering the unique characteristics of Dover's diverse housing stock. Whether you're dealing with crumbling plaster in a Victorian terrace or damage in a post-war council estate, we provide precise, cost-effective solutions. We'll happily provide a free, no-obligation quote to match your specific repair needs.
How long does patch plastering take to dry? +
Drying times in Dover's variable coastal climate can differ depending on your property's age and conditions. Generally, thin patch repairs will dry within 2-3 days, while thicker repairs might take 4-5 days. Factors like humidity, property insulation, and ventilation significantly impact drying. In older Dover properties with solid walls - particularly those Victorian and Edwardian homes in the CT15 and CT16 areas - drying might take slightly longer due to less breathable construction. Modern developments in Whitfield with better insulation typically dry faster. We recommend waiting at least 48 hours before painting, and using a breathable, matte emulsion paint that complements the original wall texture. For best results, keep rooms well-ventilated and maintain a consistent temperature. In emergency repairs near Dover Castle or in older town centre properties, we can advise on accelerating the drying process without compromising the plaster's integrity.
Can you match my existing wall texture? +
Matching wall textures is our speciality, especially crucial in Dover's diverse property landscape. Whether you're in a Victorian terrace with traditional lime plaster, an Edwardian villa with smooth finishes, or a modern Whitfield development with contemporary walls, we meticulously recreate your existing texture. Our techniques work across CT15, CT16, and CT17 postcodes, handling everything from rough Artex finishes in older properties to sleek modern surfaces. We use specialized troweling techniques and carefully selected materials to ensure seamless repairs. For period properties near Dover Castle, we're particularly skilled at replicating historic plasterwork, using traditional methods that respect the building's original character. Our plasterers carry multiple trowel types and understand how slight angle changes and pressure variations create different textures. We'll always do a test patch first, allowing you to approve the texture before completing the full repair.
Do you do small jobs like filling picture holes? +
Absolutely! The Patch Doctor specializes in repairs of all sizes across Dover's varied properties. Those tiny picture hook holes in your Victorian terrace or modern Whitfield apartment? We handle them routinely. We often combine multiple small repairs during a single visit, making it cost-effective for homeowners in CT15, CT16, and CT17 postcodes. Small patch repairs start from £80, and we're happy to fill picture holes, repair minor wall dings, or address small cracks typical in Dover's historic and modern homes. Many customers are surprised how quickly we can transform a wall, making it look pristine again. We understand that not every repair requires a major renovation - sometimes it's those small, precise fixes that make the biggest difference. Our approach is about delivering professional quality, whether we're working on a tiny patch or a large wall section near Dover Castle.
