Internal Skimming and Modern Dry Lining Solutions

Have you ever pulled back old wallpaper only to find the plaster underneath is crumbling or full of 'blown' patches? It’s a common sight in many older properties across Adur. Our internal plastering and skimming services are designed to fix exactly that. We can apply a fresh skim coat to your existing walls or, if the damage is deeper, we use dry lining (often called dot and dab) to create perfectly straight, sturdy walls using high-quality plasterboard. This is a brilliant way to hide uneven brickwork or provide a fresh start for a renovation project.Wall and Ceiling Skimming: Perfect for getting rid of minor imperfections and creating a decorator's dream surface.Plasterboarding: We install new boards for stud walls, ceilings, and extensions.Wall Repairs: From accidental holes to cracks caused by building movement, we'll make them disappear seamlessly.

Weatherproof Rendering for Coastal Shoreham Homes

Living so close to the sea in Shoreham-By-Sea means your property’s exterior takes a real beating from the salt air and wind-driven rain. If your current render is cracking or falling away, it’s more than just an eyesore—it’s an invitation for damp to move in. As PRB Systems Approved Contractors, we specialise in modern rendering solutions that are specifically designed to handle these conditions. Unlike old-fashioned sand and cement, our silicone render and monocouche render systems are flexible and highly breathable, which helps prevent the cracks that lead to water ingress.We also offer external wall insulation (EWI), which is a game-changer for older homes in West Sussex that don't have cavity walls. By wrapping your home in a layer of high-performance insulation before applying a beautiful through-colour render, you’ll stay warmer in the winter and notice a significant drop in your energy bills. Plus, because these renders come in a huge range of colours, you’ll never have to worry about painting the outside of your house again.

Damp Proofing and Permanent Repairs in Adur

Is there anything more frustrating than spotting a dark, damp patch appearing on your freshly painted wall? In Shoreham and the wider Adur area, damp is a frequent visitor due to our high water table and coastal location. Whether it's rising damp coming up from the ground or penetrating damp pushing through faulty external walls, we have the expertise to diagnose the root cause. We don't believe in quick fixes; we provide long-term solutions including chemical DPC injections and specialist tanking treatments.Once the damp source is tackled, we don't just leave you with a bare wall. We specialise in damp repairs, hacking off the salt-contaminated plaster and replacing it with specialist renders that won't allow the moisture to return. It’s all about giving you peace of mind that your home is dry, healthy, and protected for the long haul.

Reliable Artex Removal and Ceiling Restoration

Still living with those dated, swirly Artex ceilings from the 80s? You're not alone. Many homeowners in Shoreham-By-Sea are looking to modernise their interiors by getting back to a flat, contemporary finish. We offer safe and efficient Artex removal and ceiling skimming. Often, the best and cleanest route is 'over-boarding'—where we fix new plasterboard directly over the old ceiling before skimming it. This not only gives you a perfectly flat surface but also adds an extra layer of fire protection and sound insulation between floors.Whether you’re dealing with a collapsed ceiling after a leak or just want to upgrade the look of your lounge, we handle the whole process. We’re fully insured with £1m Public Liability cover, so you can relax knowing your property is in safe, professional hands. If you're ready to transform your home, give us a call today for a free, no-obligation quote. We’re local, we’re experienced, and we’re here to help with all your plastering and rendering needs across Shoreham.

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.
