Local knowledge
Sowerby Bridge houses & what they need
A lot of Sowerby Bridge is built into the slope. The front door is on one street and the back garden is a floor higher, so the rear wall of the bottom room is holding back earth. That wall stays damp, and ordinary plaster on it fails.
For those rooms the answer is tanking: a waterproof layer behind the plaster, so the wall can stay damp without the room getting damp. We do it as part of the plastering, so there is no gap between trades.
Above ground it is the usual Calder Valley mix. Solid stone, old lime under newer skim, and lath and plaster ceilings in the Victorian terraces.
Sowerby Bridge is a short trip from our Hebden Bridge base. We're in and out of the town most weeks, so arranging a site visit is straightforward.

How we quote

FAQs
Plastering in Sowerby Bridge: common questions
Our bottom room is damp on the back wall. Can you plaster it?
Yes, with tanking behind the plaster rather than plaster alone. First we look at whether it is ground water, which tanking deals with, or a leak or gutter, which needs fixing first.Can you work in the mill conversions by the canal?
Yes. Long walls and high ceilings, often boarded over brick or stone. We protect the shared corridors and stairs as well as the flat itself.Do you cover Triangle, Luddendenfoot and Ripponden?
Yes. Those and the rest of HX6 are the same working day as Sowerby Bridge.
