Plastering Services in Margate.
The demand for plasterers.

As a family run business operating in Margate and the surrounding areas we have been supporting projects with our plastering services for over 40 years and have watched Margate grow. As it does there is an increasing need for plasterers in the area due to the rise in housing developments. Several significant projects are underway, contributing to this demand:

​

Shottendane Road Development: Plans are in motion for a 450-home estate, with the first phase of 138 homes approved in April 2024. The second phase, comprising 312 homes, is expected to commence by mid-2025.

Navigators Walk by Bellway: This development includes 250 homes, featuring two to four-bedroom houses and apartments.

​

Thanet District Council's Strategic Housing: The council is redeveloping sites to provide 49 new build council units, a mix of houses and apartments, replacing underutilized areas. These projects indicate a robust growth in Margate's housing sector, leading to a heightened demand for skilled plasterers to ensure quality finishes in both new constructions and renovations. And as more houses are built those buyers sometimes want to extend to give extra living space or create loft conversions. 

​

Thanet Plastering definitely noted an increase in residential house renovations in Margate in recent years too, we found it why:

Government Initiatives:

Live Margate Project: This £23.1 million program, running until 2026, aims to revitalize housing by converting large-scale bedsits back into family-sized homes, enhancing living standards, and encouraging owner occupation.

​

Property Improvement Programs:

Margate Community Redevelopment Agency (MCRA): In 2024, the MCRA allocated $2 million for property improvements, with $500,000 designated for single-family and multi-family residences. This initiative focuses on enhancing the visual appeal and value of properties within the community.

​

Market Dynamics:

Increased Property Listings: As of 2024, there was a 72% rise in homes on the market compared to the previous year, indicating a dynamic property landscape. This surge suggests that homeowners are investing in renovations to increase property value and appeal to potential buyers.
