Plastering Services in Steyning, West Sussex

Have you ever tried to paint a wall only to find every little bump and scrape shows up under the light? It's incredibly frustrating. That’s where our skimming and re-skimming services come in. We specialise in applying a thin, flawless layer of plaster over existing walls to give you that 'good as new' feel. It is the quickest way to modernise a room and provide a perfect base for your decorators. We see a lot of older properties in West Sussex with 'blown' plaster or layers of old wallpaper that have hidden a multitude of sins. We can strip it back, fix the underlying issues, and give you a surface so smooth you'll almost be afraid to touch it.

Living so close to the South Downs means our homes in Steyning often face the brunt of the West Sussex weather. If you've started noticing that tell-tale musty smell, peeling wallpaper, or dark patches on your skirting boards, you might be dealing with damp. Whether it's rising damp coming up from the ground or penetrating damp pushing through porous brickwork, we can help. We don't just cover up the problem; we find the source. Using specialist treatments like chemical DPC (Damp Proof Course) injection or tanking, we make sure the moisture stays out for good. Once the structural fix is in place, we'll repair the internal plaster with salt-resistant materials, leaving your home healthy and dry once again.

Is your home's exterior looking a bit weathered? Traditional sand and cement render can often crack or trap moisture over time, leading to bigger problems down the line. As approved PRB Systems contractors, we offer high-performance alternatives like Monocouche and Silicone renders. These aren't just your average coatings—they're through-colour systems, meaning the pigment is mixed right in. You'll never have to pick up a paintbrush to refresh the outside of your house again. These modern renders are flexible, breathable, and incredibly durable, making them perfect for protecting Steyning properties from the elements while giving them a crisp, contemporary look that really stands out.

Nothing dates a room faster than a heavy Artex pattern on the ceiling. If you're tired of looking at those swirls or 'stipple' effects, we can help you modernise. Many homeowners worry about the mess or the potential for asbestos in older textured coatings. We take safety seriously, offering expert advice on the best way to handle your specific ceiling. Often, we'll recommend 'over-boarding'—fitting new plasterboard directly over the old Artex—and then applying a fresh skim coat. It’s a clean, safe, and highly effective way to get those flat, bright ceilings you see in interior design magazines. It makes the whole room feel taller and more spacious instantly.
