🚨 IS YOUR PLASTER BLOWN? HERE’S WHAT TO LOOK FOR 🚨
Blown plaster can look fine but may be losing its bond. Tap it gently and listen for a hollow or “drummy” sound.
Warning signs include:
✅ Bubbling, flaking or crumbling
✅ Loose sections that move when pressed
✅ Cracks returning after painting
✅ Uneven patches or different sounds
Small localised areas can often be repaired by removing loose plaster, preparing the background and patching neatly.
If loose plaster covers a larger area, or cracks and hollow spots return, a full re-skim or replaster is usually the better long-term solution. A skim won’t fix a weak base.
