ABOUT US:

J.H.S was established in 2001 by Jason Short and over the years has grown from strength to strength. Jason Short has over 25 years experience in the plastering and damp proofing industry and has built up an impressive portfolio of clientele in the public, industrial and commercial sector. Our portfolio covers all regions of the UK and Ireland and we provide the same level of service whether the job is a small a patch up round a single socket or a 60 plot housing contract.

We carry out all aspects of internal and external plastering, and all aspects of Damp paroofing, these include the following;

- Skimming and re-skimming

- Dry -lining

- Traditional float and set plastering

- External Render, Dashing and tyrolean finishes

- All areas of Damp proofing covered (see below)

- Screeding and concreting

SCREEDING AND CONCRETING:

Screed is a thin, top layer of material (traditionally sand and cement), poured in situ on top of the structural concrete or insulation, on top of which other finishing materials can be applied. Concrete is a composite construction material composed primarily of aggregate, cement and water. There are many formulations that have varied properties. The aggregate is generally a coarse gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, along with a fine aggregate such as sand. The cement, commonly Portland cement, and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, serve as a binder for the aggregate. Various chemical admixtures are also added to achieve varied properties. Water is then mixed with this dry composite which enables it to be shaped (typically poured) and then solidified and hardened into rock-hard strength through a chemical process known as hydration. The water reacts with the cement which bonds the other components together, eventually creating a robust stone-like material. Concrete has relatively high compressive strength, but much lower tensile strength. For this reason is usually reinforced with materials that are strong in tension (often steel).

We cover all aspects of Damp proofing, from Injection only to injection and re-plaster, we do structural water proofing, Tanking systems and both wet and dry rot treatments. We also cover all aspects of condensation control.

we can also provide insurance backed guarantee's
