Headcorn is the base for coverage of up to 25 miles. The named areas include Maidstone, Ashford, Staplehurst, Tenterden, Bethersden, Biddenden, Sutton Valence, Paddock Wood and Chatham. The area pages give homeowners a useful starting point for discussing their location and the condition of their property.
Work for homeowners
Services include plastering, skimming, skimming over artex, ceiling plastering, rendering, plasterboarding and coving. Patch repairs and full-room replastering are also explored on the plastering pages. The appropriate scope depends on the surfaces involved rather than the assumption that every room needs the same treatment.
A smooth finish may call for preparation or repairs before the visible coat. Where new linings are part of an alteration, boarding and finishing are separate stages. Questions about older coatings, damp or failing backgrounds belong in the discussion before a cosmetic change is agreed.
From discussing the room to decorating
Start by discussing the surfaces and the changes you have in mind. A quote gives you the proposed work to consider. Preparing the room, protecting nearby areas and repairing, boarding or skimming as agreed are parts of the project to discuss clearly.
Clearing the working area and discussing drying help connect plastering with the later decorating stage. Drying depends on the materials and room conditions. If other trades or retained features affect the room, explain them in the initial enquiry.
