Why a local plasterer matters in Fareham.
Travel time, substrate knowledge and accountability - three things you only get from a tradesperson who actually works the postcode every week.
Why we cover Fareham
Fareham is home. SJM Plastering is based on Fontley Road in Titchfield, so a Fareham job is a 10-minute drive door-to-door. We've skimmed, rendered and damp-proofed hundreds of properties across the PO14, PO15 and PO16 postcodes - from 1970s estates around Catisfield and Highlands to the new-builds off Newgate Lane and the Victorian terraces tucked behind West Street.
Coverage
We cover every Fareham postcode plus the bordering villages: Titchfield, Portchester, Sarisbury Green, Park Gate, Whiteley, Stubbington and Hill Head. Same crew, same standard, same phone number whether you're on Gosport Road or up by Welborne.
Response times
Most Fareham quotes are issued within 24 hours of your call. Smaller rooms we can often price from clear photos and a 5-minute chat.
Property types we know
Fareham housing stock is mixed: red-brick semis around Highlands and Wallington, post-war estates in Portchester and Funtley, period cottages near the Quay, and the rapidly-growing Welborne and Newgate Lane developments. Each needs a slightly different approach - modern board needs a different backing coat to old lime-and-lath. We know the difference.
Common Fareham jobs
Most-requested jobs in Fareham: full lounge re-skims after wallpaper stripping, ceiling re-skims after kitchen extractor leaks, front-elevation silicone render refreshes, garden-room and loft-conversion plasterboard finishes, and damp-proof re-plastering on the lower courses of older terraces near the harbour.

The four issues we fix most often in Fareham.
Property type, climate and building age all play a part. These are the patterns we see week after week here.
Salt-blown plaster near the harbour
Properties closer to Fareham Creek and Portchester pick up wind-driven salt. Ordinary skim over a salt-contaminated wall blows again within months. We use salt-blocking renovating plaster systems rated for coastal exposure.
Hairline cracks in 70s render
Estates from the Catisfield and Highlands era often show map-cracking in old sand-and-cement render. Painting over it traps water. We cut out, mesh and re-skim with a flexible silicone topcoat that won't repeat the failure.
Modern board joints showing through paint
Newgate Lane and Welborne new-builds are notorious for visible board joints and screw pops once the property settles. A full 2mm re-skim makes them disappear permanently.
Penetrating damp in lower terraces
Older terraces around West Street and the Quay often have failed pointing letting water through. We diagnose at source, treat the wall, then re-plaster with a salt barrier so the patch stays bone-dry.
