Traditional Plastering & Skimming in Kent

Expert Traditional Plastering and Skimming for Key Street Homes

Call 07889 226357

From period cottages to new build extensions, Key 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. As a Kent team, we cover Key Street alongside the surrounding villages and towns, including Underriver, Singlewell and the areas in between.

We plaster and skim ceilings, walls, and partitions to the same standard, so the finish carries evenly around the whole room. Ceilings showing hairline cracks or sagging patches are assessed and made good before the finish coat is laid on.

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 Key Street homes and businesses. Ring us or request a free quote online to get started.
