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 carries out skimming for homes and businesses across Isle OF Wight and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
Russ Kenward covers Isle OF Wight and the surrounding East Sussex area on the same local round that takes in Seacox Heath, Stonecrouch and the towns around them.
For Isle OF Wight 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 Isle OF Wight follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Isle OF Wight.
