Traditional Plastering & Skimming in Kent

Skilled Traditional Plastering and Skimming Serving East Barming

New plasterboard, a fresh partition wall, or a whole extension in East Barming all need the same finishing step before decoration can begin. Polished Venetian skims new surfaces to a smooth, paint ready standard across Kent, matching the same care we give to repair work. Our coverage does not stop at East Barming. We are equally active in the nearby Kent areas of Tatsfield and Chalkwell, and travel between the three regularly.

Most interior walls take a base coat followed by a finishing skim coat, though the exact build up depends on the condition of the surface underneath. The finish coat is worked by hand and trowelled flat, so the wall is genuinely level rather than just tidy.

A hollow sound when you tap the wall usually means the plaster has blown and lost its bond with the background. We check for this during the site visit and recommend hacking off and re-plastering only where it is genuinely needed.

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