Homeowners and builders in Three Chimneys 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.
Russ Kenward covers Three Chimneys and the surrounding Kent area on the same local round that takes in Swiftsden, The Quarter and the towns around them.
