Skilled Traditional Plastering and Skimming Serving Upper Postern

Traditional Plastering and Skimming is the craft everything else at Polished Venetian is built on. The same artisan hand finishing we bring to our decorative Venetian and Marmorino work goes into every skim coat we lay in Upper Postern, which is exactly why our surfaces hold up over time. We treat Upper Postern as core territory, along with Hulberry and Green Street Green nearby, all part of the same Kent coverage we run from our Dartford base.

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.

A hollow sound when you tap the wall usually means the plaster has blown and lost its bond with the background. We check for this during the site visit and recommend hacking off and re-plastering only where it is genuinely needed.

We treat a single patch repair with the same artisan care as a full house re-plaster. If your Upper Postern 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.
