Why Choose Us?
Our Professional Plastering and Rendering Process
At Aline Construction, we follow a meticulous process to ensure the best possible finish for your project. It all begins with comprehensive site preparation, where we carefully protect your floors, furniture, and fixtures from any potential debris. We then address the surface condition, applying appropriate primers or bonding agents such as PVA or blue grit to ensure optimal adhesion.
For internal work, we focus on achieving perfectly flat surfaces through high-quality skimming or dry lining techniques. Externally, our process involves the strategic placement of expansion beads and mesh reinforcement to prevent future cracking. We finish with a professional clean-up, ensuring that the only thing left behind is a pristine, high-quality wall or ceiling. Our team maintains a clean workspace, respecting your home throughout the duration of the works.

Who We Are
Internal Plastering Services for Totton Homes
Our internal plastering services are designed to modernise and restore the character of your home. We specialise in full room skimming, providing a glass-like finish that is ready for painting or wallpapering. If you are undergoing a renovation, we offer professional dry lining using dot and dab methods, which is an efficient way to insulate and finish new extensions or stud walls.
We also provide expert repair services for damaged ceilings or walls, including the covering of outdated Artex finishes for a contemporary look. Our tradespeople are skilled in bonding coats and multi-finish plastering, ensuring that every corner and edge is sharp, clean, and professional. Whether you need a single room plastered or a full house refurbishment, our team delivers consistent quality.
Exterior rendering is about more than just kerb appeal; it is about shielding your property from the elements. In the New Forest and Totton area, breathable silicone-based renders and K-Rend systems are ideal for managing moisture while providing a stunning, through-coloured finish that requires minimal maintenance. These modern renders are far superior to traditional, cracking sand and cement methods.
We also specialise in Monocouche rendering, which is applied in a single coat to offer excellent weather resistance and durability. For properties requiring an energy-efficiency upgrade, we can incorporate External Wall Insulation (EWI). This not only modernises the appearance of your house but also significantly improves thermal efficiency, helping to reduce your heating bills throughout the colder months.
Aline Construction: Delivering expert construction, property refurbishments, and home renovations across Southampton and a 30-mile radius, proudly serving Winchester, Portsmouth, Eastleigh, Romsey, Fareham, and the New Forest.
Understanding the regulatory landscape is a vital part of our service. When performing extensive external rendering, we strictly adhere to Part L of the Building Regulations, which covers the conservation of fuel and power. If you are renovating a significant percentage of your wall area, ensuring your render system meets modern thermal insulation standards is crucial for compliance.
Beyond regulations, we are experts in assessing damp issues that often plague properties in this region. We use techniques like mesh reinforcement and high-quality breather membranes to ensure that your walls are protected against water ingress. By ensuring your home is properly sealed and ventilated, we help prevent long-term structural damp and associated maintenance costs.
FAQ

How long does it take for new plaster to dry before I can paint?
Usually, internal plaster takes about 3 to 5 days to dry completely, depending on the temperature and ventilation in the room. It will turn from a dark brown to a light, uniform pink colour when it is ready. We recommend using a "mist coat" (thinned down paint) for the first layer to make sure the finish doesn't peel.
What is the difference between traditional render and K-Rend?
Traditional sand and cement render is often cheaper but can be prone to cracking and requires regular painting. K-Rend (a brand of silicone render) is through-coloured, meaning you never have to paint it. It is also more flexible, which helps prevent cracks, and it allows the building to breathe while repelling water.
Can you plaster over Artex ceilings?
Yes, we can. If the Artex is in good condition, we can usually "skim" over it to create a smooth, modern surface. However, if the Artex was applied before the mid-1980s, it may contain asbestos. In those cases, we can advise on the safest way to board over the ceiling or have it tested before we start work.
Do I need scaffolding for external rendering?
For most two-storey homes, scaffolding is necessary to make sure the job is done safely and to a high standard. We can arrange the scaffolding as part of our quote, so you don't have to worry about coordinating different contractors.
