Expert Plastering Services in Southwick & West Sussex

Flawless internal skimming and wall repairs

Have you ever tried to paint a wall only to find every little bump and scratch staring back at you? It's frustrating, isn't it? That’s where a professional skim coat makes all the difference. Our internal plastering and skimming services are designed to give your decorators the perfect canvas. We specialise in everything from small wall repairs to full-room refurbishments. If your ceilings are looking a bit tired or you're dealing with old, blown plaster that's seen better days, we can stripped it back and start fresh. We also offer 'dot and dab' dry lining, which is a fantastic, quick way to get wonky old walls perfectly straight and ready for a modern finish.

Modern rendering for Southwick's coastal weather

Living so close to the Sussex coast means our homes take a bit of a beating from the salt air and driving rain. If your external walls are looking cracked or the old pebble-dash is starting to fall off, it might be time for an upgrade. As an approved PRB Systems contractor, we specialise in high-performance monocouche and silicone rendering. These aren't your standard sand-and-cement finishes; they are through-colour systems, meaning you'll never have to pick up a paintbrush to touch up the exterior again. They’re flexible enough to resist cracking and tough enough to keep the Adur weather at bay for decades.

Effective damp proofing for BN42 homes

Is there anything more disheartening than seeing salt stains or peeling wallpaper caused by damp? In older Southwick properties, rising damp and penetrating moisture are common headaches. We don't believe in quick fixes that just hide the problem. Our team provides expert damp proofing treatments, including installing new chemical damp proof courses (DPC) and specialist tanking for particularly stubborn areas. We'll identify exactly where the moisture is getting in—whether it's a failed render or groundwater moving up—and provide a long-term solution that keeps your home healthy and dry.

Safe Artex removal and ceiling restoration

Many of the homes we visit in the Adur district still have those dated, textured Artex ceilings from the 70s and 80s. Not only do they look old-fashioned, but they can also be a worry if they contain older materials. We offer a safe and clean Artex removal service, often using a method called over-boarding. We'll fix new plasterboard directly over the existing texture and then apply a fresh skim coat. It’s the fastest way to transform a room, making it feel brighter, taller, and much more modern without the mess of traditional scraping.

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.
