Traditional Plastering & Skimming in Kent

The Park Traditional Plastering and Skimming Specialists

Call 07889 226357

Old, blown, or uneven plaster on your The Park 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. Dartford keeps us within easy striking distance of The Park, Stick Hill and Stoke, three of the Kent areas we visit most often for quotes and site work.

The finishing is where the craft shows. We hand trowel every skim coat to the same standard we apply to our decorative Venetian and Marmorino finishes, because a flat, closed surface is what lets the paint or paper sit right.

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 treat a single patch repair with the same artisan care as a full house re-plaster. If your The Park 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.
