Homeowners and builders in Sandhurst Cross come to R Kenward Plastering Contractors for skimming, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish. It is one of the core services offered across Kent alongside the practice's specialist decorative finishes.

Skimming in Sandhurst Cross FAQs
Yes. Plasterboard is designed to be skimmed, not painted directly. The skim coat seals the joints, hides fixing screws, and gives a uniform, smooth surface that paint or wallpaper needs to look right.
