Traditional Plastering and Skimming Across Penshurst and Kent

New plasterboard, a fresh partition wall, or a whole extension in Penshurst all need the same finishing step before decoration can begin. Polished Venetian skims new surfaces to a smooth, paint ready standard across Kent, matching the same care we give to repair work. Being Dartford based keeps us close to Penshurst, and to the neighbouring Kent communities of Wickhurst and Banstead, 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.

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.

Whether your Penshurst 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.
