Professional Traditional Plastering and Skimming in Cooling Street

From period cottages to new build extensions, Cooling Street homes come to Polished Venetian for Traditional Plastering and Skimming that suits the wall behind it. We use breathable lime plaster on older, heritage properties and quick drying gypsum where a clean modern finish is called for. Alongside Cooling Street, our Kent round regularly includes Rochester and Burlings, giving us a solid feel for the property types typical of this area.

Not every wall needs stripping back. Where the existing plaster is sound we can skim straight over it for a fresh, flat finish, and where it is blown or crumbling we hack it off and re-plaster from the background up. That call is made at the site visit, not guessed over the phone.

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.

From new build extensions to tired period walls, Polished Venetian brings dependable Traditional Plastering and Skimming to Cooling Street homes and businesses. Ring us or request a free quote online to get started.
