Plastering can make damaged or uneven surfaces ready for decoration, but it does not fix an active leak, serious damp source or continuing structural movement. Deal with the cause first if the damage is still developing. Businesses that cover Copthorne may be based there or elsewhere in Sussex, so check each profile to confirm it covers the area and offers the work you need.
