Crumbling Plaster Claims
What Is Crumbling Plaster?
Crumbling plaster happens when the plaster on your walls or ceilings starts to break down, crack, or fall off. This can leave your home looking worn and neglected. It may also expose brickwork or laths underneath, making your living space uncomfortable and unsafe. Common signs include flaking plaster, loose patches, and powdery residue on walls.
Causes of Crumbling Plaster
Several factors can cause plaster to crumble, including:
- Damp or water leaks from pipes, roofs, or windows
- Poor ventilation leading to condensation and mold
- Structural movement or damage in the building
- Use of low-quality materials or bad repairs
- Aging plaster that naturally deteriorates over time
Your landlord is legally responsible for maintaining your home and fixing issues that lead to plaster crumbling.
Who can make a claim for Crumbling Plaster?
If you rent your home from a private landlord, housing association, or council, and your plaster is crumbling due to neglect or poor repairs, you can make a claim. You must have reported the problem to your landlord and given them time to fix it. Tenants who experience damage, inconvenience, or health problems caused by crumbling plaster are eligible to seek compensation.
What compensation can you get?
Compensation for crumbling plaster may cover:
- Repair costs for damaged plaster and affected areas
- Damage to your personal belongings caused by falling plaster or damp

- The inconvenience and discomfort you have suffered living in poor conditions
