Homeowners and builders in Four Throws come to R Kenward Plastering Contractors for skimming, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish. It is one of the core services offered across Kent alongside the practice's specialist decorative finishes.
Russ Kenward covers Four Throws and the surrounding Kent area on the same local round that takes in Frant, Gills Green and the towns around them.
For Four Throws properties, apply a second thin coat while the first is still workable, then trowel to a smooth, flat finish, then final polish pass with water and trowel once the plaster has taken up, leaving a hard, paint-ready surface. Every skimming job in Four Throws follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Four Throws.
