Traditional Plastering & Skimming in Kent

Whether it is a single damaged wall or a whole house re-plaster, Polished Venetian treats every Traditional Plastering and Skimming job in Chesley with the same care. We plaster and skim walls, ceilings, and partitions to one consistent, level standard right across the room. Chesley joins Bicknor and South Merstham on the list of Kent areas we visit most, all within a short drive of Dartford for a quote or site visit.

Fresh plaster needs time. As a guide, each coat wants around five to seven days to dry before painting, depending on thickness, ventilation, and the weather. We tell you when the walls are properly ready, so your decoration lasts instead of flaking.

Lime plaster suits period properties because it lets the wall breathe and move, while gypsum suits most modern homes because it dries faster and costs less. We will not push one system where the other genuinely suits the property better.

We would rather get the detail right than rush you into booking. Send a few photos or arrange a free site visit in Chesley, and we will tell you honestly what the job needs and what it will cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most interior walls take a base coat followed by a finishing skim coat. The exact build up depends on the condition of the surface underneath, which we assess before quoting.
