From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out skimming throughout Knox Bridge, Kent. A thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
Russ Kenward covers Knox Bridge and the surrounding Kent area on the same local round that takes in Seacox Heath, Kilndown and the towns around them.
For a job in Knox Bridge, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Knox Bridge 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 Knox Bridge job, because the quality of skimming only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
