Smooth, Level Walls with Traditional Plastering and Skimming in Lambs Cross

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 Lambs Cross, which is exactly why our surfaces hold up over time. Being Dartford based keeps us close to Lambs Cross, and to the neighbouring Kent communities of Hodsoll Street and Shorne West, so quotes and site visits rarely mean a long drive.

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.

Every job starts with a free site visit so we can see the surface, agree the finish, and give you an accurate quote. From there we prepare the wall, hacking off any damaged or blown plaster, apply the base and finish coats by hand, and end with a quality inspection for a smooth, level result.

Polished Venetian is a local, Dartford based team covering Lambs Cross and the surrounding Kent area, so you get an experienced plasterer within a short drive rather than a distant contractor. Every quote follows a free, no obligation site visit and comes to you in writing.
