Plaster cracks around staircase
We had all our walls skim-coated when we renovated 10 years ago. They are still fine EXCEPT for the staircase soffits and adjacent walls where I’m guessing the movement of the stairs creates stress that re-opens old cracks. Has anyone else had this problem and how have they fixed it? Also, I’ve seen Junior Prates…
We had all our walls skim-coated when we renovated 10 years ago. They are still fine EXCEPT for the staircase soffits and adjacent walls where I’m guessing the movement of the stairs creates stress that re-opens old cracks. Has anyone else had this problem and how have they fixed it? Also, I’ve seen Junior Prates recommended here as a plasterer (most recently in the last day or two). Would he be a good guy to call for this? Thanks in advance.
We recently used Junior and his crew to renovate the plastering and paint work in our hallways and up the stairs. Came out very well. I’d certainly recommend. Can send pictures if you require.
Ok, looking forward to it.
Thanks, Bob. Good tip.
Aida: I hope to be in touch once I get the appropriate spousal approval.

Hope to hear from you!
Sorry, bad wording. Make that “perennially cracking underside”. The staircase itself is fine.
We had the underside of a perennially cracking staircase skim coated over a fiber glass lining about three years ago. So far, so good. Previous repairs cracked within a year.
