Property Maintenance
Plastering & Rendering
Guardian Edge provides plastering and rendering across the UK — internal plastering, dry lining, external render repair and re-render, and damp-related replastering — starting with why the plaster failed rather than simply covering it again.
Diagnose the damp before you cover it up.
Who this is for
- Landlords and agents
- Managing agents
- Housing providers
- Commercial premises
Problems it solves
- Plaster is blown and has been skimmed over twice already
- External render is cracked and water is tracking into the wall
- Damp keeps returning after redecoration

Before we price anything
Inspection & survey process
- 01
Find the cause of failure
Penetrating damp, rising damp, condensation and leaks all look similar and need different answers. Replastering the symptom is a short-term fix.
On site
How the work is delivered
- 01
Address the cause
Repairs to the source before any finish is applied.
- 02
Prepare and apply
Correct backing coats and specification for the wall.
- 03
Make good
Decoration and reinstatement to complete.
Compliance
What the rules actually require
- Damp and mould in rented housing engages the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 and, in social housing in England, Awaab's Law timescales for investigating and remedying hazards.
- Covering damp without addressing its cause is not a repair and will not satisfy a disrepair claim.
Standards & legislation
These are not all the same kind of obligation, and we do not present them as if they were. A statutory duty is law. A British Standard is the recognised way of demonstrating you have met one. Guidance and our own recommendations are neither.
- Legal requirementHomes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018
Fitness standard including damp and mould
Damp and mould can render a property unfit, giving tenants a direct route to enforcement.
