Plasterer in Westfield
Westfield is a village a few miles north of Hastings on the road to Sedlescombe, roughly ten miles from our base in Bexhill. It is a regular part of our working area, with a mix of everyday re-skims and extension plastering and the occasional period cottage job.
Russ has more than 25 years of experience and quotes every job honestly, whether it is a single ceiling or a whole-house renovation.
What Westfield properties need from a plasterer
Most of Westfield's housing is 20th-century, from inter-war and post-war homes through to more recent developments, which means plasterboard and gypsum construction where skimming, boarding and float and set are the everyday work. Many of these houses have been extended, so plastering a new rear extension or loft room is a common request.
The older core of the village around the church and along the main road has cottages with solid walls, where a breathable lime finish is often the better choice, and the surrounding lanes include farmhouses and rural properties with the same considerations.
Also covering Brede, Guestling, Three Oaks and the surrounding lanes.
Plastering services in Westfield
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.
