Can you repair water damaged plasterboard? +
Water damage is common in Bridge's mix of period and modern properties, particularly in older farmhouses and converted buildings. We specialise in comprehensive water damage repairs, but our first priority is always identifying and resolving the source of moisture. We won't simply patch over a problem that could cause future structural issues. Our process involves thoroughly assessing the damage, ensuring the underlying cause - whether it's a leaking roof, pipe, or condensation issue - is completely fixed before beginning repairs. For CT4 postcode homes, we carefully remove all affected plasterboard, treat any potential mould, and replace with high-quality moisture-resistant boards. We'll also check surrounding timbers and insulation for potential damage. Repairs typically take 1-2 days depending on extent, with additional drying time. Our goal is not just cosmetic repair, but preventing future moisture-related problems. We use professional-grade materials that match your existing wall finish, ensuring a repair that looks seamless and protects your property's integrity.
How big a hole can you repair? +
In Bridge's diverse housing stock - from modern executive homes to historic farmhouses - we repair holes of all sizes. Our expertise covers everything from small nail or screw holes to extensive damage requiring full sheet replacement. For CT4 properties, we can handle repairs ranging from a 5cm patch to entire wall sections. Small holes under 10cm are typically quick fixes, often completed within hours. Medium holes up to 50cm require more detailed work, involving cutting precise board sections, securing backing, and professional skimming. Large repairs involving full sheet replacement might take a day, ensuring perfect alignment with existing walls. We carry multiple board thicknesses to match your property's specific construction - whether you're in a new build or a converted oast house. Our approach considers not just the repair, but how it integrates with your existing wall's texture and finish. We bring all necessary materials, ensuring a professional, lasting solution that maintains your home's aesthetic and structural integrity.
How long does plasterboard repair take? +
Repair duration varies significantly across Bridge's diverse property types. A small hole in a modern executive home might take just 2-3 hours, while a large damaged section in a period farmhouse could require a full day's work. For CT4 properties, we typically follow this timeline: small repairs (under 20cm) are usually completed within 3-4 hours, including preparation and initial skim. Medium repairs (20-50cm) generally take a full working day. Large repairs involving sheet replacement might span 1-2 days. Crucially, we factor in drying time - typically 24-48 hours before painting, depending on room humidity and plaster thickness. In older Bridge properties with potential moisture issues, we might recommend additional drying time. We always provide a detailed timeline during our free quote, ensuring you understand exactly what to expect. Our goal is minimal disruption and a perfect finish that matches your home's unique character.
