Plastering and Rendering Services in Broadstairs

Broadstairs is home to Perfect Plastering, and we’re proud to serve this beautiful coastal town and the surrounding Thanet area. As a Broadstairs-based business, we have an intimate understanding of the local properties, the challenges they face, and the standards our neighbours expect.

From the elegant Victorian villas along the clifftops to the charming Edwardian terraces in the town centre, Broadstairs has a rich architectural heritage that demands skilled, sympathetic plastering work. Whether you live in a period property near Viking Bay or a modern home on one of the newer developments, we bring the same level of care and craftsmanship to every job.

Lee on living and working in Broadstairs

Broadstairs is my home base. I’ve lived and worked here for years, and I cover the surrounding Thanet area as a matter of course. Some of the favourite jobs I’ve done in the town include the Louisa Bay area, a flat near The Albion Hotel, King Ethelbert School, and the Ursuline Convent nursery. The mix of property types keeps the work interesting, big Victorian rooms with high ceilings, Edwardian terraces, modern flats. Being based locally means I can be on site quickly, follow up after the job, and customers can find me if they need to. That matters in a town this size where everyone talks.

Understanding Broadstairs Properties

Living and working in Broadstairs gives us a unique advantage. We understand the specific challenges that coastal properties face:

• Salt and moisture exposure - sea air accelerates render deterioration, making regular maintenance and quality materials essential
• Victorian and Edwardian plasterwork - many Broadstairs homes feature original lath and plaster, decorative cornicing, and ceiling roses that require specialist knowledge to repair or restore
• Coastal damp - penetrating damp is common in properties exposed to prevailing winds off the sea, and we know how to address it properly
• Conservation considerations - parts of Broadstairs fall within conservation areas where sympathetic materials and techniques are required

Lee on common Broadstairs problems

The big issue in Broadstairs is damp, often tied to render failure on coastal-facing walls. Because we’re right on the coast, the wind drives rain hard at properties, and tired render lets the water through. I see a lot of rusting on non-stainless steel beading that’s been used on coastal jobs in the past, the galvanised stuff just corrodes and rots away, which is why I now use plastic beads on modern render systems. I’ve also had jobs where the brickwork itself was poorly built. On one job, taking dot-and-dab plasterboard off around a window, an entire column of bricks fell out because the bricklayer years before had done a poor job. Photos were taken, just in case. You never know what’s behind the plaster on an older property until you start opening it up.

Lee on notable Broadstairs work

Notable jobs I’ve worked on locally include the Louisa Bay area, a flat near The Albion Hotel, King Ethelbert School and the Ursuline Convent in the nursery section. Being asked back to schools and notable local buildings is what builds reputation in a town like Broadstairs, you’re judged on the work and on whether the customer would recommend you to a neighbour. Most of my local work now comes through Checkatrade and word of mouth, which says something about how the business has built up over the years here.
