Expert Plastering Services in Southwick & West Sussex

Flawless internal plastering and skimming

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a freshly skimmed wall. If you’ve ever tried to paint over old, cracked plaster or wallpaper from three decades ago, you’ll know it’s a bit of a nightmare. Our skimming service creates a mirror-smooth surface that’s a dream for any decorator. For those bigger projects, like a new extension or converting a garage, we use dry-lining and plasterboarding—often called 'dot and dab'—to get those walls perfectly straight and ready for the final coat. It's fast, efficient, and gives you a professional result every single time. We take care of all the prep work too, so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Modern rendering for West Sussex weather

Let’s be honest, the weather in West Sussex can be pretty testing. Your home’s exterior takes a real beating from the wind and rain, which is why a high-quality render is so important. As approved PRB Systems contractors, we specialise in modern finishes like monocouche and silicone renders. These aren't like the old sand-and-cement renders that crack if you look at them funny. They’re flexible, breathable, and come in a range of through-colours, meaning you won’t have to spend your weekends up a ladder with a paintbrush. It's an investment that keeps your property looking sharp and staying dry for years to come. We also offer external wall insulation (EWI) to help keep those heating bills down during the colder months.

Reliable damp proofing for Mid Sussex properties

Have you noticed a suspicious musty smell or some peeling paint near the skirting boards? Damp is one of those things you really don't want to ignore. Whether it’s rising damp coming up from the ground or penetrating damp creeping through a leaky wall, we’ve seen it all in Mid Sussex homes. We don't just cover it up; we find out why it’s happening. From installing new chemical damp proof courses (DPC) to specialist tanking and penetrating damp repairs, we’ll make sure your home stays dry and healthy. We’ll hack off the old, salt-contaminated plaster and replace it with specialist materials designed to keep the moisture at bay for good.

Sorting out those dated Artex ceilings

Are you still staring up at a swirly Artex ceiling from the 1980s? You aren't alone. Many people in Haywards Heath tell us it’s the one thing they hate most about their interior decor. We can help you ditch the texture and go for a sleek, flat look that makes your rooms feel taller and brighter. We usually recommend 'over-boarding'—fixing new plasterboard right over the top—and then skimming it. It’s often the cleanest and safest way to modernise a room. We also handle all types of ceiling repairs, so if a leaky pipe has left you with a sagging mess in the kitchen, we can get it back to its best in no time.

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.
