Plasterers in Portsmouth

Portsmouth is a dense, island city with a huge stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar housing and post-war rebuilding after the bombing of the Second World War. Almost every street has a slightly different story behind its walls.

Homes in Portsmouth and what they need

Older Portsmouth terraces usually have solid brick walls and original lime-based plaster that has been patched many times. Lath and plaster ceilings are common and can sag or crack after years of vibration and loft work. On the outside, the city's coastal position means render takes a battering from wind-driven rain and salt air, especially on exposed ends of terraces and seafront roads.

Plastering and rendering work in Portsmouth

Typical Portsmouth work includes re-plastering back rooms and hallways, over-boarding tired ceilings, dry lining damp-prone walls once the cause is solved, and repairing or replacing failed render on bays and gable ends. Many terrace kitchens and rear extensions need full plastering packages during renovations.

Advice for Portsmouth homeowners

On coastal elevations, a breathable and water repellent render system is worth considering. Silicone thin coat renders are a popular choice for exposed walls.
