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 carries out skimming for homes and businesses across The Moor and the wider Kent area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
As a Kent based team working out of Beckley, we treat The Moor as part of our home patch, along with nearby Strood and Three Leg Cross.
Whether the The Moor job is a single room or a whole property, the same care goes into skimming in The Moor as anywhere else across Kent. Survey the surface and prep, dust down, seal porous patches, and protect flooring and fittings, adapted to whatever the The Moor property and its The Moor access happen to need.
Skimming work in The Moor starts with a conversation about the The Moor property, not a hard sell. Call 07850 161812 or send an enquiry describing the The Moor job, and R Kenward Plastering Contractors will get back to you with a free, no-obligation quote.

Skimming in The Moor FAQs
Yes, wallpaper should always be stripped back to bare plaster or masonry before skimming. Skimming over paper traps moisture, prevents the new plaster from bonding properly, and risks the finish cracking or lifting.
