Barlestone sits in the heart of north-west Leicestershire, roughly eight miles south-west of Coalville and surrounded by picturesque countryside near the Charnwood Forest. The village is home to a diverse mix of period properties—many built from local stone during the Victorian era—alongside 1970s semi-detached homes and contemporary residential developments. This architectural variety means our team encounters everything from heritage lime-mortar plasterwork to modern moisture-resistant drywall, making Barlestone a rewarding area for specialized plastering expertise.
The CV13 postcode experiences typical midlands damp issues, particularly in older cottages with solid walls and limited damp-proof membranes, leading to plaster bloom and soft patches. Newer homes in Barlestone occasionally suffer plasterboard damage from settlement or impact, compounded by the area's clay-heavy soil which can cause slight structural movement in older properties.
Barlestone's older stone properties often benefit from sympathetic repair using traditional lime plaster, which breathes better than modern gypsum and prevents long-term damage to historic walls. For newer builds and modern extensions, strategic plasterboard replacement is often more cost-effective than attempting extensive repairs, especially if moisture or impact damage affects large sections.
