Kitchen Plastering and Skimming in Kensington
Kitchen refurbishments need well-finished walls before decorating and fitting can move ahead. This Kensington renovation included plastering to the walls and ceiling, with particular attention to the areas around the glazed doors and adjoining surfaces.
Preparing the kitchen walls for decorating
The plastering formed part of a kitchen refurbishment in Kensington. The walls needed a smooth, consistent finish, including along the ceiling line and around the openings. Those details matter in a kitchen, where fitted units, worktops and lighting can make uneven surfaces more noticeable.
Before applying a skim finish, the underlying surfaces need to be suitable for plastering. Edges, junctions and areas around doors require careful handling so the finished surfaces look neat once the room is painted and fitted out.
Kitchen work is easiest to plan when plastering is scheduled before the final decorating and fitting stages. Allowing the new plaster to dry properly is important before painting; the time required depends on the thickness of the plaster, ventilation and site conditions.
Wall and ceiling finishes in the kitchen
The room was plastered during refurbishment, including the walls alongside the glazed doors and the junctions between walls and ceiling.
Planning kitchen plastering before fitting
Plan around the kitchen fitting
Confirm which walls and ceiling areas are included, and arrange plastering before units and finishing details make access difficult.
Allow time before painting
Fresh plaster needs to dry before it is sealed or painted. Follow the paint manufacturer’s guidance for new plaster.
