Southsea is famous for its Victorian and Edwardian streets, large period villas and terraces with bay windows, high ceilings and decorative details. Many have been converted into flats, and plenty more are being restored as family homes.
Homes in Southsea and what they need
These properties reward careful plastering. High ceilings, cornices and ceiling roses need respect, solid walls behave differently to modern cavity construction, and decades of alterations often leave uneven walls and mismatched patches. Front elevations close to the seafront take strong, salty weather.
Plastering and rendering work in Southsea
In Southsea homes we are often asked about ceiling repairs and over-boarding where original ceilings have failed, re-skimming tall rooms and stairwells, coving that suits the period, and patch repairs around sash windows and bays. Render repairs on painted fronts and rear outriggers are also common.
