About Our Damp Proofing
Practical damp repairs with the plastering finish planned properly afterwards.
Lanes Plastering & Damp Proofing Ltd carries out damp proofing and damp repair work across County Durham and Tyne & Wear, helping homeowners deal with affected walls before they become a repeated decorating problem.
Damp can show in different ways. You might notice staining, bubbling paint, salts on the wall, damaged plaster, musty smells, mould growth or patches that come back after decorating. The important thing is not to simply skim or paint over the area before considering why the issue is there.
Our approach is practical and joined-up. We assess the affected area, explain what is likely needed, carry out the agreed damp repair work and can reinstate the surface afterwards with plastering where required. That means the wall is treated and finished as part of one sensible process.

Damp to Finish
Not just covering the problem. Sorting the affected area before finishing the room.
Damp issues often need more than a skim coat. If a wall is stained, salty, blown or constantly bubbling through paint, the affected plaster may need to be removed, the area treated and the surface reinstated correctly before decorating.
Lanes can help with the repair, treatment and plastering afterwards, so the affected area is left ready for decorating instead of being passed between separate trades. This gives homeowners a clearer process and a better final result.

FAQs
Useful answers before booking damp proofing work.
For damp patches, blown plaster, salts, staining and recurring wall issues, these are the questions homeowners usually need answered first.
How do I know if I need damp proofing?
Common signs include damp patches, bubbling paint, flaking plaster, staining, salts, mould, musty smells or patches that keep returning after decorating. Photos can help us advise on the next step.
Can you replaster after damp proofing?
Yes. Damp treatment and reinstatement can be planned together, so the affected area is treated and then finished properly.
Can damp plaster be skimmed over?
It is usually better to understand the cause first. Skimming over damp or salt-contaminated plaster can lead to the same problem returning, so the area may need repair and preparation before finishing.
Do you deal with recurring damp patches?
Yes. If the same area keeps staining, bubbling or blowing, we can inspect the affected wall and advise on practical repair and reinstatement options.
Do you take on smaller damp repairs?
Yes. Smaller affected areas, localised wall repairs and making good after damp work can all be discussed.
Which areas do you cover?
Most work is across County Durham and Tyne & Wear, including Durham, Sunderland, Gateshead, Newcastle, Washington, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Stanley, South Shields and surrounding towns.
