Traditional Plastering and Skimming Across Joydens Wood and Kent

Traditional Plastering and Skimming is the craft everything else at Polished Venetian is built on. The same artisan hand finishing we bring to our decorative Venetian and Marmorino work goes into every skim coat we lay in Joydens Wood, which is exactly why our surfaces hold up over time. Joydens Wood is one of many Kent towns on our regular round, sitting close to Harmans Corner and Godstone, all within easy reach of our Dartford base.

Material choice matters. Gypsum plaster dries quickly and suits most modern homes, while lime plaster is breathable and better suited to period and heritage walls that need to move and let moisture escape. We advise on the right system before any plaster goes on.

We are upfront about pricing from the start. Skimming typically runs around ten to fifteen pounds per square metre as a guide, though every job is quoted individually once we have seen the actual condition of the surface.

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