Hareplain, Kent
Local Skimming in Hareplain and the Surrounding Villages
Homeowners and builders in Hareplain 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.
From our Beckley base we reach Hareplain and the rest of Kent quickly, including neighbouring Great Pattenden and Stonecrouch.
Older Hareplain properties sometimes still have original lath and plaster or lime-based walls, which need a different approach to a modern gypsum job. We assess the Hareplain wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Hareplain property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.

Skimming in Hareplain FAQs
Yes. Plasterboard is designed to be skimmed, not painted directly. The skim coat seals the joints, hides fixing screws, and gives a uniform, smooth surface that paint or wallpaper needs to look right.
