30 years on the tools.One craftsman who answers his own phone.
SJM Plastering is Steve - a City & Guilds qualified, Permaguard accredited master plasterer covering Fareham, Portsmouth, Southampton and the wider Hampshire area since 1993. Quotes go out within 24 hours, work starts when promised, and every wall leaves site painter-ready.
The story so far.
Steve picked up his first trowel in 1993, working alongside seasoned Hampshire plasterers on everything from Victorian terraces in Portsmouth to new-builds in Whiteley. Three decades later, SJM Plastering is the result of that apprenticeship: a small, owner-operated firm where every quote, every site visit and every finish coat comes from the same pair of hands.
We work for homeowners, landlords, small developers and the occasional commercial fit-out across Fareham, Portsmouth, Southampton, Gosport, Titchfield, Whiteley, Park Gate, Stubbington and Winchester. If you're inside a 30-minute drive of PO15, we cover it.
The specialism is the finish - mirror-flat skim, weather-tight silicone and monocouche render, and certified damp-proofing systems. We don't chase the cheapest job in the postcode; we chase the one customers will recommend to their neighbour twelve months later.
Measurable proof.
Numbers that matter to the people choosing who walks into their home.
How we work, and why it matters.
One craftsman, one standard
Steve quotes the job, plans the job, and finishes the job. No subbing out, no rotating crews - the person who promises the finish is the person who delivers it.
Painter-ready, every time
Walls leave site mirror-flat, dust-free and ready for a mist coat. Decorators tell us SJM jobs need almost no prep - that's the standard we work to.
Tidy site, tidy paperwork
Dust sheets down, mess bagged out, written quote with what's in and what isn't. No surprises mid-job and no surprises on the invoice.
Damp work, manufacturer-backed
Permaguard damp-proofing work comes with a manufacturer-backed system warranty when installed to spec - paperwork in writing on completion.
