Ibstock is a thriving market town in North West Leicestershire, approximately 12 miles south of Coalville, with a rich industrial heritage linked to brick and clay extraction that still defines its character today. The town's housing is notably diverse, ranging from solid Victorian terraced properties with original plasterwork to post-war semi-detached homes and modern residential developments, many built with the local brick. Its position between Leicester and Burton-on-Trent makes Ibstock a commuter-friendly location while retaining strong community identity and local services.
Ibstock's Victorian and Edwardian terraces commonly suffer from fine hairline cracks caused by natural settlement and seasonal movement, which respond well to flexible finishing compounds. Rising damp and salt effloresce in older properties can also damage plaster at skirting level, requiring remedial treatment alongside replastering.
In Ibstock's older properties, repairing and re-skimming existing plaster is often the preferred option—it preserves period features and costs significantly less than stripping and re-boarding. For newer homes or where structural movement or damp has compromised the plaster bond, we advise replacement with modern board and skim, which offers better durability and faster drying times in LE67's temperate climate.
