Hickstead Plastering Services by Sussex Interiors

Hickstead sits within our West Sussex coverage, alongside other areas we serve including Framfield and Gallypot Street.

Old Artex and textured ceilings are handled as part of the service. We can skim over or remove them to give a smooth, modern finish ready for painting, and new plasterboard from renovations, extensions or stud walls is skimmed to a paint-ready surface in the same way.

Fresh plaster needs time before it can be painted. A newly skimmed surface typically needs around five to seven days to dry fully, though this varies with room ventilation and the time of year, and we advise you on realistic timing for your specific job at quote stage.

Plastering does generate dust and debris, so protecting your home is built into the job. Flooring and furniture are covered with sheeting throughout, damaged coving or cornice is repaired to match the existing profile where possible, and the work area is cleaned thoroughly on completion.

Damp-damaged plaster is treated honestly. We can replaster walls affected by damp once the underlying moisture issue has been addressed, and if a damp specialist needs to resolve the root cause first, we will tell you rather than skimming over a problem that will only return.

We keep our coverage tight around Hickstead and the rest of West Sussex so the team stays genuinely local, reaching areas we also serve like Franklands Village and Fletching Common.
