Local Skimming in Peters Green and the Surrounding Villages
Skimming is a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish. In Peters Green and the surrounding Kent villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
Peters Green sits within our core Kent coverage, alongside nearby communities like Petteridge and Oxleys Green, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
For a job in Peters Green, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Peters Green 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 Peters Green job, because the quality of skimming only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
