Expert Plastering Services in Southwick & West Sussex

Flawless Internal Plastering and Skimming

Ever noticed how a fresh coat of paint can actually make old, bumpy walls look worse? That's where our skimming service comes in. We specialise in achieving that 'mirror-smooth' finish that makes a room feel brand new. Most homeowners we speak to in Lewes are looking to cover up years of wear and tear, or perhaps they've just stripped off layers of old wallpaper to find a bit of a mess underneath. Our team uses traditional 'float and set' techniques or modern multi-finish skimming to create a perfectly flat base. We’re particularly careful about keeping the mess to a minimum—we use plenty of dust sheets and always leave your home tidy because we know how disruptive building work can feel.

Modern Rendering to Protect Your Exterior

Living on the edge of the South Downs means our homes have to stand up to some fairly serious weather. If your current render is cracked or 'blown', it’s not just an eyesore—it’s an invitation for damp to move in. As approved PRB Systems contractors, we offer advanced external rendering solutions like Monocouche and silicone through-colour renders. The best part? These systems come with the colour already mixed in, so you can say goodbye to the ladder and the paintbrush for years to come. Whether you want a crisp, modern look for a new build or a breathable finish for a traditional Sussex property, our rendering services are designed to be as durable as they are beautiful.

Expert Damp Proofing for Lewes Properties

Is there a musty smell in the spare room, or have you noticed salt stains appearing on your skirting boards? Damp is a common headache in Lewes, especially with our mix of historic flint walls and older brickwork. We don't believe in guesswork. Our team provides expert damp diagnosis to figure out if you're dealing with rising damp or penetrating damp from a faulty exterior. We offer comprehensive rising damp treatments, including new chemical DPCs and specialist tanking. We’ll hack off the contaminated plaster, treat the source of the moisture, and replaster with salt-resistant materials to ensure the problem doesn't come back to haunt you.

Dry Lining and Plasterboarding Solutions

If you're looking to turn a cold garage into a home office or you're building a new stud wall, dry lining (often called 'dot and dab') is a fantastic, efficient way to get things moving. It’s not just about speed, though; using the right boards can make a huge difference to your comfort. We can install insulated plasterboard to keep the heat in, or acoustic boards to keep the noise out. It’s a great way to hide uneven brickwork and provide a clean, straight surface that’s ready for a final skim coat. We handle everything from the initial boarding to the final finish, ensuring your new space is solid and perfectly aligned.

Modernising Your Dated Artex Ceilings

Many of the homes we visit in the BN7 area still have those heavy, textured Artex ceilings from the 70s and 80s. While they were popular back then, today most people want a flat, clean look. We offer a safe and effective 'back to flat' service. This usually involves over-boarding the existing ceiling with new plasterboard before applying a fresh skim coat. It’s often the cleanest and safest way to deal with Artex, which can sometimes contain older materials like asbestos. We’ll assess your ceiling and give you the best advice on how to modernise it safely, leaving you with a bright, flat surface that makes your rooms feel much larger and more modern.

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.
