Our plastering services
External wall insulation project
This house had a mix of tired pebbledash and stained paintwork, and the owners wanted it to look modern while also feeling warmer inside.
The project brought a few challenges. We had to extend a long gas run, working with Gas Safe engineers to alter the pipework all the way from the meter round to the rear first floor point where the pipe entered the wall.
The porch was not part of the external wall insulation system, but it still needed to match the rest of the newly rendered house, so we mixed a paint colour to match the render as closely as possible.
A local plasterer for Brighton’s homes
Brighton and Hove has some of the most varied housing in the south of England, from Regency stucco terraces in Kemp Town and Brunswick to Victorian and Edwardian streets in Hanover, Preston Park and Fiveways, and 1930s semis out towards Patcham and Woodingdean. Each of these needs a slightly different approach, and that is where more than 20 years of local work makes a difference.
Many older houses in the city have solid walls with no cavity, which means they lose heat quickly and can suffer from damp if they are finished with the wrong materials. For those homes we often recommend breathable lime plaster inside, or external wall insulation outside where planning rules allow it. If your home is in one of the city’s conservation areas, our conservation area guide explains what usually needs permission.
For newer homes, most of our work is everyday skimming and replastering, reboarding damaged ceilings and covering old Artex ceilings so rooms feel fresh and modern. And if you want something more decorative, we create Venetian and polished plaster finishes that bring real depth to a feature wall.
Whatever the job, we start with a free visit, explain what we would do and why, and give you a clear written price. You can see our guide prices before you call.
