Best plasterers in Kent

Plastering in Kent ranges from skim-coating new plasterboard in modern extensions to restoring lime plaster in listed buildings around Canterbury and Rochester. A skilled plasterer should be able to advise whether wet plastering or dry lining is the right approach for your project. For external rendering — especially on coastal properties — salt-resistant renders and proper mesh reinforcement are essential for longevity.
