Plastering, rendering and damp proofing in Hastings

Hastings Old Town is a tight network of narrow houses climbing steeply between the cliffs, with sandstone and brick walls that were never designed to be dry all year. Damp in these buildings is usually a mix of things: a leaking roof detail, a bridged damp course, and condensation in rooms with little ventilation.

We work through it in order — find the source, make the outside watertight, treat the wall, then replace the plaster with one that can handle residual salts. Tall rooms, awkward stairs and limited access are normal here rather than a surprise.
