Which parts of Worthing do you cover?

The whole town: the seafront and town centre, Goring, Tarring, West Worthing, Durrington, Broadwater and Findon Valley, along with Lancing, Shoreham and Littlehampton.

How quickly can you look at a job in Worthing?

Usually within a few days. Send a couple of photographs with your postcode and we will tell you what it is likely to involve before booking a visit.

Do you handle sea-facing render on the seafront?

Yes. Seaward elevations take wind-driven rain, so we repair the background and re-render to a finish that holds up on that front, rather than patching it every other year.

Plastering, rendering and damp proofing in Worthing

Plastering, rendering and damp proofing across Worthing, from the seafront terraces to Goring and Tarring.

Worthing has a mix of seafront Regency terraces, 1930s semis and the villages absorbed into the town at Tarring and Goring. Both older and newer properties need the same care in preparation, whether that is taking a wall back to a sound background or getting a render bead straight on a corner.

We work on single rooms as readily as whole houses, and on the damp problems that follow blocked gutters, raised paving and failed damp courses. Send a few photographs and we can usually tell you what is worth booking a visit for.

In detail

Plastering work in Worthing, in practice

Seafront terraces and the Regency streets

Worthing's seafront terraces were built to face the sea, which means the render and paint on them take the full weather. South and south-west elevations here are repainted far more often than the rest of the town, and a render that has been patched repeatedly keeps letting water in behind the patches.

We repair and re-render sea-facing walls properly, with the beads and levels straight, so the elevation can be finished as one surface rather than a map of old repairs.

Goring, Tarring and the 1930s streets

Inland Worthing is largely 1930s semis and bungalows with pebbledash elevations, many extended into the loft or the back garden. Extension plastering, garage conversions and making good where new work meets old are what we are asked for most here.

On those older houses the pebbledash that protects the wall also hides cracking, so damp inside is often the first sign of a problem outside. We look at the elevation as a whole before quoting a patch repair that will not last.

Damp, blown plaster and repainting

High ground levels, blocked gullies, leaking hoppers and damp courses past their life account for most of the damp in Worthing, and the visible result is blown plaster at low level or a bubble in the paint near a window reveal.

We deal with the cause, take back the damaged plaster and use a salt-resistant finish after any damp course work. Rooms are left flat and ready to decorate, whether that is one wall in Goring or a whole terrace near the pier.
