This is a Victorian terraced house in Doncaster which retains much of the original lime plaster, much of which is on lath. On the staircases and landings there were patches of damaged plaster caused by either wear and tear, and/or failure of the underlying lath. The owners decided that they wanted a proper repair rather than using plasterboard and gypsum; the man of the house is very practical and wanted the repair work done as a tuition exercise so that he could do other lime plaster repairs in the house himself.
Here any damaged lath has been replaced and the first coat of plaster applied.
