Plasterer in Ninfield
Ninfield is a village on the road between Bexhill and Battle, only a few miles from our base, and has been on our areas list since the business started. Jobs here are typically a mix of older village cottages, farmhouses and outbuildings, and the newer houses on the edges of the village.
Russ has more than 25 years on the tools and covers Ninfield, Hooe, Lunsford's Cross and the surrounding lanes with no travel charge.
What Ninfield properties need from a plasterer
The village core has older cottages and houses with solid walls and, in some cases, timber frames, where lime plaster is the traditional finish and still the right one for breathability. Around it are farmhouses, barns and rural properties where renovation plastering often means combining new insulated linings with historic masonry.
Ninfield also has 20th-century housing and more recent infill, all standard plasterboard and gypsum construction, where skimming, boarding and float and set on extensions are the everyday jobs.
Also covering Hooe, Lunsford's Cross, Catsfield and the surrounding lanes.
Plastering services in Ninfield
Everyday plastering and specialist decorative finishes, all carried out by Russ and his team.
Skimming
A skim coat is the thin, final layer of plaster that turns a rough or patched wall into a smooth, paint-ready surface.
Float and Set
Float and set is the traditional two-coat system for bringing uneven blockwork or badly damaged walls back to a true, flat, durable finish.
Tacking
Tacking is the fixing of plasterboard sheets to timber or metal stud frames and joists, the structural first step before any wall or ceiling can be skimmed.
Sticking
Sticking, or dot-and-dab drylining, fixes plasterboard directly to a solid wall with adhesive dabs, straightening the wall without losing much room depth.
Polished Plaster
Polished plaster is a Venetian-style decorative finish, hand-applied in thin layers and burnished to a smooth, marble-like sheen.
Tadelakt
Tadelakt is a traditional Moroccan lime plaster, hand-polished and soap-sealed to a naturally waterproof, seamless finish ideal for bathrooms and wet rooms.
Microcement
Microcement is a thin, seamless cement-based coating applied to floors, walls, and worktops for a sleek, contemporary, jointless finish.
Pitted / Concrete Finishes
Pitted and concrete-effect finishes give a wall the raw, textured character of exposed concrete without the weight, cost, or structural work of the real material.

Plastering in Ninfield: your questions
Yes. For solid-wall and timber-framed cottages we assess the existing build-up and use a breathable lime-based system where the wall needs it, rather than hard gypsum that can crack and trap moisture.
Send a photo of the wall or room and Russ will tell you what it needs and roughly what it will cost.
