Traditional Plastering & Skimming in Kent

Traditional Plastering and Skimming Across Longfield Hill and Kent

Call 07889 226357

Old, blown, or uneven plaster on your Longfield Hill 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. Whether the job is in Longfield Hill or a short hop away in Loose Hill or Higham Wood, our Kent coverage from Dartford means the same team and the same standard turns up.

Fresh plaster needs time. As a guide, each coat wants around five to seven days to dry before painting, depending on thickness, ventilation, and the weather. We tell you when the walls are properly ready, so your decoration lasts instead of flaking.

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.

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