Expert Plastering and Rendering Services in Arundel | Portslade Plastering

Living in Arundel, you know how much character our local houses have—from the historic flint-knapped cottages near the castle to the Victorian terraces and modern builds heading out towards Tortington and Crossbush. But with that historic charm often comes a few common headaches: crumbling old plaster, damp patches after a heavy West Sussex downpour, or exterior walls that have seen better days. That’s where we come in. At Portslade Plastering, we bring years of hands-on experience to homes and businesses across the BN18 area. Whether you’re looking to refresh a single room or give your entire property a facelift with modern rendering, we’re here to help. We don’t just slap on some plaster and leave; we’re a team of locals who care about the finish as much as you do. Have you noticed a bit of 'blown' plaster or a crack that keeps reappearing? Give us a call on 01273 957212 for a chat about how we can fix it properly, the first time.

Trusted Local Specialists for Your Arundel Home

Choosing someone to work on your home is a big deal. You want to know they’ll turn up when they say they will, do a proper job, and—crucially—not leave your carpets looking like a building site. Most homeowners we speak to in Arundel are looking for that perfect balance of high-quality craftsmanship and reliable service. We’ve built our reputation on exactly that. We’re proud to be Approved PRB Systems Contractors, which means we’ve been specifically trained to install some of the best rendering products on the market today. Add to that our £1 million Public Liability Insurance, and you can rest easy knowing your property is in safe hands. From domestic repairs to larger commercial projects across the Arun district, we handle the lot with the same level of care and attention to detail.

Mirror-Smooth Internal Plastering and Skimming

Ever stripped off old wallpaper only to find a mess of cracks and uneven patches underneath? It’s a common sight in older Arundel properties. Our internal plastering and skimming services are designed to turn those tired walls into a 'flawless base' ready for paint or paper. We specialise in re-skimming, which involves applying a thin, fresh layer of plaster over existing walls to achieve a perfectly smooth finish. If you’re dealing with dated Artex ceilings that feel like they belong in the 1970s, we can help there too. We often use a technique called over-boarding, where we fix new plasterboard over the texture before skimming it flat. It’s a cleaner, safer, and much faster way to modernise your space without the mess of traditional Artex removal.

Modern External Rendering to Protect Your Property

The weather along the Sussex coast can be pretty unforgiving. Between the driving rain and the salty air, your exterior walls take a real beating. If your current render is cracked or falling off in chunks, it’s doing more than just looking untidy—it’s letting moisture into your home. We specialise in modern Monocouche and Silicone rendering systems. Unlike traditional sand and cement, these through-colour renders are breathable, flexible (which helps prevent cracking), and they don’t need painting every few years. As PRB approved installers, we can transform the look of your home while giving it a durable, weather-proof shield that lasts. Thinking about energy bills? We also install External Wall Insulation (EWI), which wraps your home in a layer of thermal protection before the final render is applied. It's a game-changer for staying warm in those chilly Arundel winters.

Professional Damp Proofing and Wall Repairs

Being close to the River Arun and dealing with the West Sussex water table means damp is a frequent topic of conversation for local property owners. Whether it's rising damp leaving salt tide marks on your skirting boards or penetrating damp coming through the brickwork, it needs more than just a lick of paint to fix. We offer expert damp diagnosis to find out exactly what's going on. From installing a new chemical Damp Proof Course (DPC) to 'tanking' walls to keep moisture out, we provide long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. Once the source of the damp is sorted, we’ll hack off the contaminated plaster and replace it with specialist renovation plaster that won't be affected by salts, ensuring your walls stay dry and healthy for years to come.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional plastering, rendering, and damp proofing services in Southwick, West Sussex, and throughout Portslade, Brighton & Worthing.

How long does new plaster take to dry?

+

It usually takes about three to five days, but this depends on the weather and how much air is moving through the room. You will see the plaster change from a dark wet look to a light, uniform pink. It is best to wait until it is completely light pink before you start painting.

Do I need to clear the room before you start?

+

It helps if the room is as empty as possible so we have space to work and move our ladders safely. We always bring plenty of heavy-duty dust sheets to protect your floors and any large bits of furniture that cannot be moved.

Can you plaster over my old Artex ceiling?

+

Usually, yes. We can either scrape back the high points and skim over it, or if the texture is very deep, we might suggest over-boarding it with new plasterboard first. We will check the condition of the ceiling and give you the best advice for a long-lasting finish.

What is the benefit of a PRB render system?

+

PRB systems are designed to be flexible and breathable. In coastal areas like Worthing and Portslade, this is very important because it helps prevent cracks and stands up to the salt air much better than traditional materials. Plus, because they come in various colours, you won't need to paint them.

How do I know if I have rising damp or just condensation?

+

Rising damp usually leaves a tide mark on the lower part of the wall, often with some salt staining or peeling wallpaper. Condensation usually shows up as black mould in corners or behind furniture where air does not move. We can come out, take a look with a moisture meter and tell you exactly what is going on.

Is your work guaranteed?

+

We take huge pride in what we do. If there is ever an issue with the workmanship, we will come back and make it right. Our use of high-quality materials also means the finish is built to last for many years.
