From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out skimming throughout Rolvenden, 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 Rolvenden and the surrounding Kent area on the same local round that takes in Swiftsden, Rushers Cross and the towns around them.
Older Rolvenden properties sometimes still have original lath and plaster or lime-based walls, which need a different approach to a modern gypsum job. We assess the Rolvenden wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Rolvenden property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
