Trusted plastering across Brighton and Hove

Living by the coast in Brighton and Hove means our homes have to deal with a lot—from the salty sea air to the typical Sussex drizzle. Whether you're lucky enough to own a tall Victorian terrace near the seafront or a modern semi further inland, keeping your walls in top shape is about more than just looks. At Portslade Plastering, we've spent years helping your neighbours transform tired, cracked rooms into bright, modern spaces. We know that inviting tradespeople into your home can feel like a bit of a gamble, which is why we focus on being the reliable, tidy, and expert team you can actually trust to get the job done right the first time.

Flawless internal skimming for local homes

Ever noticed how a fresh coat of paint only highlights the lumps and bumps on an old wall? If your walls have seen better days or you've just stripped off decades of wallpaper to find a bit of a mess underneath, our skimming service is exactly what you need. We specialise in creating that 'mirror-smooth' finish that decorators love. We don't just slap on some plaster; we take the time to prep properly, ensuring a durable bond. From patching up a single wall after a leak to re-plastering an entire Regency townhouse, we treat every job with the same care. And don't worry about the mess—we’re famous in Brighton and Hove for our clean-and-tidy approach, making sure your carpets and furniture stay protected throughout the process.

Modern rendering to beat coastal weather

The Brighton and Hove coastline is beautiful, but it's tough on external walls. Traditional sand and cement render often struggles with the salt and moisture, leading to cracks and blown patches. That’s why we’ve become approved PRB Systems contractors. We specialise in high-performance silicone and monocouche rendering that doesn't just look stunning—it's built to breathe and flex with the building. These through-colour renders mean you can say goodbye to the constant cycle of repainting every few years. If you've noticed your current render is looking a bit worse for wear, or you're interested in external wall insulation to keep those energy bills down during a breezy Sussex winter, we can help you choose the right system for your property.

Expert damp proofing for Sussex properties

There is nothing quite as frustrating as spotting a damp patch on a freshly decorated wall. In Brighton and Hove, many of our older properties are prone to rising damp or penetrating moisture from the driving sea wind. We don't believe in guesswork; we accurately diagnose whether you’re dealing with a failed damp proof course (DPC) or a simple structural leak. From chemical injections to specialist 'tanking' treatments for lower-ground floors, we provide lasting solutions. Once we've stopped the water, we’ll handle the damp repairs, removing salt-contaminated plaster and replacing it with specialist materials to ensure the problem doesn't come back to haunt you.

Transform your ceilings with Artex removal

Is a dated, swirly Artex ceiling making your living room feel like a relic from the 1970s? Many homeowners across Brighton and Hove tell us they're desperate to get rid of textured ceilings but are worried about the hassle. We offer a safe and efficient 'back to flat' service. Depending on the condition, we can either over-board your existing ceiling with new plasterboard or carefully scrape and skim it back to a perfectly flat, modern finish. It’s one of the quickest ways to modernise a room and add value to your property. If you're worried about older Artex containing asbestos, don't sweat it—we follow strict safety protocols and can advise you on the best way forward.

Professional dry lining for faster renovations

When you're mid-renovation, time is usually of the essence. Dry lining—or 'dot and dab' as you might hear it called—is a fantastic way to get a perfectly flat surface on wonky internal brickwork without the long drying times of traditional wet plastering. It’s also a brilliant opportunity to add a layer of insulation to those chilly external walls. Our team is expert at boarding out new stud walls or entire extensions, providing a flawless base for the final skim coat. It’s fast, efficient, and when done by professionals, it provides a finish that's indistinguishable from traditional plastering but with added thermal benefits.

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.
