Why Choose Our Internal Plastering & Skimming in Southwick?

Expert skimming for walls that look brand new

If your walls have seen better days, a professional reskim can work wonders. This involves applying a thin, final coat of high-quality multi-finish plaster over your existing surfaces. It is the secret to getting that modern, crisp look without the hassle of ripping everything back to the brickwork. Most homeowners we speak to are surprised at how much it brightens a space. Whether you've just stripped off some stubborn woodchip wallpaper or you're dealing with blown plaster that sounds hollow when you tap it, our team knows exactly how to prep the surface. We use professional suction control techniques to make sure the new coat bonds perfectly and stays put for years to come.

Saying goodbye to dated Artex ceilings

Let's be honest, nobody misses the look of a heavy Artex ceiling from the 70s. If you’re tired of looking at those swirls and stipples, we have the perfect solution. Most people in Worthing opt for over-boarding, where we fix new sheets of plasterboard directly over the old ceiling before skimming it flat. It’s often much cleaner and safer than trying to scrape back old textures, especially since older Artex can sometimes contain asbestos. We treat this with the seriousness it deserves. By using scrim tape to reinforce every joint and bead to keep the corners sharp, we'll ensure you won't see any cracks creeping through your new, flat ceiling later on.

Reliable plastering without the usual mess

We know what you’re thinking: isn't plastering incredibly messy? It is probably the biggest worry homeowners mention to us. We treat your home in Worthing with the same respect we’d show our own. Before we even mix a bag of plaster, we're busy laying down heavy-duty floor protection and masking up your skirting boards. Our goal is to leave your house exactly how we found it, just with much better-looking walls. We take pride in a tidy workspace, so you won't be finding rogue splashes of plaster in your carpets or on your furniture weeks after we've gone. It’s about more than just the finish; it’s about the service.

Trusted local specialists for every project size

From small patch repairs after a radiator's been moved to full-scale dry lining in a commercial unit on Montague Street, we handle it all with the same level of care. As approved PRB Systems contractors, we've got the technical backing to guarantee high standards, and our £1 million public liability insurance means you’re always in safe hands.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our internal plastering and skimming services in Southwick and throughout Portslade, Brighton & Worthing.

How do I know if my room needs a full plaster or just a quick skim?

+

It usually depends on the state of the brickwork or the original plaster underneath. If the walls are structurally sound but look a bit rough or have old wallpaper marks, a skim coat is perfect. However, if the plaster is falling off the wall or sounds hollow when you tap it, we might need to take it back to the brick and start fresh. We can take a look and give you an honest opinion on what will work best for your budget and your home.

Can you safely remove or cover Artex ceilings in my Southwick property?

+

Yes, we do this all the time. Many people choose to have the Artex covered with a new layer of plasterboard and then skimmed over to get a flat finish. This is often the cleanest and most efficient way to get rid of the texture. If you prefer to have the Artex removed, we can discuss the safest way to handle it, especially in older properties where we need to be mindful of the materials used in the past.

How long does it take for new skimming to dry before I can paint?

+

In most Southwick homes, you’ll see the plaster change from a dark brown to a light, uniform pink as it dries. This usually takes about three to five days, depending on the ventilation and the weather in West Sussex at the time. It is important not to rush it or put the heating on too high, as drying it out too fast can cause small hairline cracks. Once it’s light pink and dry, you’re ready for your mist coat and final paint.

What is the benefit of using dry lining and plasterboard instead of wet plaster?

+

Dry lining is a fantastic option if your walls are very uneven or if you want to get the job finished a bit quicker. It involves fixing plasterboard to the walls using a "dot and dab" method or a metal frame. It provides a very straight, flat surface and is great for adding a bit of extra insulation to your home. We still apply a final skim coat over the boards to give you that seamless, high-quality finish that looks just like traditional plaster.

Do you handle small plaster repairs or only large renovations?

+

We are more than happy to help with smaller jobs. Whether you’ve had a leak and need a patch of the ceiling repaired, or you’ve had new electrical sockets fitted and need the chases filled in, no job is too small. We apply the same level of care to a small patch as we do to a full house renovation in Southwick.
