What Bexhill properties need from a plasterer

Bexhill grew quickly from the 1880s onwards, so a large share of the housing stock is late Victorian and Edwardian, with the 1920s and 1930s streets around Cooden, Little Common and Sidley adding a second wave. Those houses were built with lime plaster on lath ceilings and solid brick walls, which means older ceilings often need either careful re-skimming over a sound base or boarding and skimming where the lath has failed. The seafront and the exposed south-facing elevations also see more salt-laden damp than inland towns, and any plastering on those walls has to start with the moisture problem, not cover it.

Bexhill Old Town has an older core around St Peter's church with some genuinely historic buildings where a breathable lime system is the right call rather than modern gypsum. The post-war estates and newer developments on the north side of town are plasterboard and gypsum throughout, where tacking, sticking and skimming are the everyday work.
