Skimming is one of the services most requested across High Street and Kent. A skim coat is the thin, final layer of plaster that turns a rough or patched wall into a smooth, paint-ready surface. R Kenward Plastering Contractors has been doing exactly this since 2009, with 5.0 rating from 11 google reviews.
We look after homes and businesses throughout High Street in Kent, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Horns Cross and Stonecrouch.
For a job in High Street, the process starts with a proper assessment of the High Street 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 High Street job, because the quality of skimming only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
