Traditional Plastering & Skimming in Kent

Smooth, Level Walls with Traditional Plastering and Skimming in Upper Ifield

Call 07889 226357

Old, blown, or uneven plaster on your Upper Ifield 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 Upper Ifield, Woodmansterne and The Crook, three of the Kent areas we visit most often for quotes and site work.

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.

No shortcuts and no compromises, just carefully prepared surfaces and a hand finished result that lasts. Contact Polished Venetian today for Traditional Plastering and Skimming in Upper Ifield and the wider Kent area.

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.
