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.

Skimming in Linkhill FAQs
A skim coat resets the visible surface to new condition, but if cracks are caused by structural movement rather than surface ageing, the underlying cause should be checked first. Most cosmetic cracking in older plaster is resolved permanently by a full skim.
