Old, blown, or uneven plaster on your Hartlip walls does not always need pulling off. Polished Venetian assesses whether Traditional Plastering and Skimming can go straight over the existing surface or whether the damaged plaster needs hacking off first, then finishes it flat and clean. From Dartford, the run out to Hartlip is a short one, and the same goes for the nearby Kent areas of Chelsham and Bullingstone that we cover just as regularly.
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.
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.
No shortcuts and no compromises, just carefully prepared surfaces and a hand finished result that lasts. Contact Polished Venetian today for Traditional Plastering and Skimming in Hartlip and the wider Kent area.
