Traditional Plastering & Skimming in Kent

Smooth, Level Walls with Traditional Plastering and Skimming in Otford

Call 07889 226357

Hollow sounding plaster, hairline cracks, or a ceiling that has started to sag are all signs a Otford property needs attention. Polished Venetian carries out Traditional Plastering and Skimming across Kent, repairing or re-plastering as the surface actually requires. Whether the job is in Otford or a short hop away in Medhurst Row or Ham Hill, 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.

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 Otford 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plastering builds the surface up from a bare or damaged background, while skimming is the thin finishing coat that leaves a wall smooth and ready to decorate. Most jobs involve both, a base coat and a finishing skim.
