Lower Upnor Traditional Plastering and Skimming Specialists

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 Lower Upnor, which is exactly why our surfaces hold up over time. Being Dartford based keeps us close to Lower Upnor, and to the neighbouring Kent communities of Sherwood and East Farleigh, so quotes and site visits rarely mean a long drive.

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.

Patch repairs are as much about blending as filling. We feather new plaster into the surrounding surface so the repair disappears once the room is decorated, rather than leaving a flat patch that shows through the paint in daylight.

We treat a single patch repair with the same artisan care as a full house re-plaster. If your Lower Upnor walls or ceilings need skimming or re-plastering, get in touch for a free quote and an honest assessment of what the job actually needs.
