Travel time, substrate knowledge and accountability - three things you only get from a tradesperson who actually works the postcode every week. 30-minute drive From our Fontley Road base to Southampton. ### Why we cover Southampton Southampton's housing stock spans 200 years - Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Portswood and Shirley, 1930s semis in Bassett and Highfield, 1960s estates in Thornhill and Weston, and the dense student-letting belt around the universities. SJM Plastering has worked SO14 through SO19, SO30 and SO31 for decades. We arrive prepared because we know the substrate before we lift the lid. ### Coverage We cover the city east and west of the Itchen - Bitterne, Woolston, Sholing, Thornhill, Weston, Portswood, Bassett, Highfield, Shirley, Millbrook and Bassett - plus Hedge End, Bursledon and Netley on the eastern side. ### Response times Southampton is roughly 30 minutes from our base on Fontley Road, Titchfield, via the M27. We issue most quotes within 24 hours. ### Property types we know Southampton properties cluster into three groups: pre-war terraces (Portswood, Shirley, Inner Avenue) with lath ceilings and lime walls; inter-war and post-war semis (Bitterne, Bassett, Thornhill) with cement render and ageing internal skim; and modern blocks and townhouses near the waterfront and Ocean Village that need new-build snagging. ### Common Southampton jobs Most-requested Southampton jobs: full house re-skims for landlords refreshing student lets; ceiling repairs after upstairs bathroom leaks; external silicone render refreshes on 30s semis; damp-proof re-plaster on lower courses of Victorian terraces near the river. Services available in Southampton ## Nine specialist plastering services - all covered in SO14 – SO19, SO30, SO31.

Property type, climate and building age all play a part. These are the patterns we see week after week here. ### Tired letting-property walls Student and HMO walls in Portswood, Inner Avenue and Bevois Valley take a battering between tenants. Filler-and-paint patching keeps failing. A full re-skim resets the surface for years. ### Penetrating damp near the Itchen and Test Properties close to the river have higher ground-water levels. We diagnose the moisture pathway, treat correctly, then re-plaster with a salt-barrier system that doesn't blow again. ### Old render failing on inter-war semis Bassett, Highfield and Bitterne semis often have original sand-and-cement render with map-cracks. We cut out, mesh and apply silicone topcoat for a 25+ year refresh. ### Snagging on Ocean Village flats Modern Southampton apartments show board joints, screw pops and bowed corners within two years. A full re-skim of the affected room makes the issue disappear for good. How we work ## A five-step process - every Southampton job, every time. 1.
