Getting skimming right in Hawkhurst takes real experience, not just a trowel. R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job across Kent, the standard fix for tired, cracked, or discoloured walls, resetting the whole surface to new-build quality rather than patching problem areas.
From our Beckley base we reach Hawkhurst and the rest of Kent quickly, including neighbouring Hill Top and Stonecrouch.
For a job in Hawkhurst, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Hawkhurst wall or ceiling in question, then moves through each stage in the right order: survey the surface and prep, dust down, seal porous patches, and protect flooring and fittings, mix plaster to the correct consistency for the substrate, and on through to the finished surface. Nothing is rushed on a Hawkhurst job, because the quality of skimming only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
No two Hawkhurst jobs are quite the same, which is why every Hawkhurst quote for skimming is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Hawkhurst jobs.
