Brenchley, Kent
Local Skimming in Brenchley and the Surrounding Villages
Skimming is a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish. In Brenchley and the surrounding Kent villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers Brenchley and the wider Kent area, including nearby Bedgebury Cross and Cackle Street.
Properties across Kent, Brenchley included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and skimming is adapted to suit whichever a Brenchley job calls for. The standard fix for tired, cracked, or discoloured walls, resetting the whole surface to new-build quality rather than patching problem areas, whether the Brenchley property is period or modern.

Skimming in Brenchley FAQs
Yes. In most cases a textured or Artex ceiling can be skimmed directly over once it has been checked for soundness and keyed if needed, avoiding the cost and disruption of stripping the old texture off first.
