Traditional Plastering and Skimming in New Hythe

From period cottages to new build extensions, New Hythe 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 based team, New Hythe sits comfortably within our usual working radius, alongside High Halstow and Greenhithe and the towns around them.

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.

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.

Whether your New Hythe walls need a full re-plaster or a quick patch before decorating, Polished Venetian gives you an honest assessment first. Call 07889 226357 or email info@polishedvenetian.co.uk to arrange a free site visit.
