Homeowners and builders in Sissinghurst 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.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Sissinghurst in Kent, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Stonecrouch and Silver Hill.
Old textured or Artex ceilings you want brought back to flat and new plasterboard that needs its finishing coat before decoration are two of the most common reasons Sissinghurst homeowners get in touch about skimming. Whatever the starting point in Sissinghurst, the same fixed, no-obligation quote applies to every Sissinghurst job before any work is booked.
