Traditional Plastering & Skimming in Southeast London

Smooth, Level Walls with Traditional Plastering and Skimming in Whyteleafe

Call 07889 226357

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 Whyteleafe, which is exactly why our surfaces hold up over time. We look after homes and businesses throughout Whyteleafe and this part of Southeast London, and often find ourselves working in Gatton and Burham on the same round.

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 plaster and skim ceilings, walls, and partitions to the same standard, so the finish carries evenly around the whole room. Ceilings showing hairline cracks or sagging patches are assessed and made good before the finish coat is laid on.

Polished Venetian is a local, Dartford based team covering Whyteleafe and the surrounding Southeast London area, so you get an experienced plasterer within a short drive rather than a distant contractor. Every quote follows a free, no obligation site visit and comes to you in writing.
