What Stoke-on-Trent homeowners say
Nearly every job we take on comes from a recommendation or a returning customer. These reviews were left by homeowners across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Crewe and Stafford, after we had packed up and left the house clean.
Re-skimmed two bedrooms and the hallway. Immaculate work and left the place cleaner than they found it.
Ceiling came down after a leak. Boarded and skimmed in a day and you would never know.
Silicone render on the whole house. On site every morning on time, finish is spot on.
Micro cement in the bathroom, exactly what we wanted and priced fairly. Highly recommend.
Quoted quickly, turned up when promised and the walls are perfect. No mess left behind at all.
Full house replaster before we moved in. Great communication the whole way through.

Stoke-on-Trent grew up as six pottery towns, and the housing still tells that story. Streets in Longton, Fenton and Normacot are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and plenty of them keep their original lath-and-plaster ceilings. Ceilings like that crack, bow, and occasionally come down after a leak from the room above. Repairing one properly means matching the old work and getting the new plaster genuinely flat, not just filling and hoping the paint hides the rest.
Terraces, semis and a big maintenance job
Move out from the terraced core and the picture shifts. The post-war semis around Bentilee and Meir bring blown plaster on solid walls, tired render on exposed gables, and rooms patched a little at a time over the years until nothing quite lines up. Stoke also holds a large amount of council and former council housing, so re-skimming, damp-related patching and full replastering after remedial work are steady, everyday jobs here rather than rare ones. Where a wall has been treated for damp and left bare, it can be brought back to a clean, flat finish that is ready for the decorator.
Getting a scaffold up on a Potteries street
Access is part of the job in Stoke. Terraced rows, kerb-to-kerb parking and the city’s ongoing road works around areas like Trentham and Ball Green mean a bit of planning before a ladder or scaffold goes up. Sorting that out at the quote stage keeps a render or ceiling job moving instead of stalling on the first morning.
Plastering and rendering across the city
From a single skimmed ceiling to rendering the whole back of a house, the full internal and external range is covered here. That means skimming and plastering, plasterboarding and dry lining, plaster and ceiling repairs, and external render in a finish chosen to suit the property. Each job is planned with the customer first, so you know what is happening and when. Rigby’s has spent nearly a decade working on Potteries housing, so the quirks of Stoke’s older stock are familiar ground. Ring for a free quote and you will get a straight answer on the work and the timing.

Questions
Plastering in Stoke-on-Trent: common questions
Do you repair old lath-and-plaster ceilings in Stoke terraces?
Yes. Many Longton and Fenton terraces still have the original lath-and-plaster, and it can be patched or overboarded and skimmed to a flat finish.
Can you replaster after damp treatment?
Yes. Once a wall has been treated and dried, it can be re-plastered with the right backing and skimmed ready to decorate.
Do you cover the whole of Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes, from Meir and Longton across to Tunstall and Burslem. Rigby's is based in the city, so quotes are quick to arrange and free.
