Skimming is one of the services most requested across Silver Hill and Kent. A skim coat is the thin, final layer of plaster that turns a rough or patched wall into a smooth, paint-ready surface. R Kenward Plastering Contractors has been doing exactly this since 2009, with 5.0 rating from 11 google reviews.
Russ Kenward covers Silver Hill and the surrounding Kent area on the same local round that takes in Sparrows Green, Sleeches Cross and the towns around them.
Silver Hill jobs get exactly the same standard as work anywhere else across Kent. Mix plaster to the correct consistency for the substrate, and for Silver Hill specifically that means factoring in the mix of period and newer properties typical of the area around Silver Hill.
