How long after plastering can I paint?
Fresh plaster typically needs several weeks to fully dry before standard paint is applied, though mist coats (diluted paint) can go on sooner. We advise on timing based on the specific plaster and conditions.
Are Worthing's seafront buildings protected?
Many of the town's notable Art Deco and Edwardian seafront buildings are listed or within conservation areas, which affects what external changes can be made without consent. We check this for individual properties.
