Float and Set is a thicker base layer, built up and ruled off level to correct unevenness in blockwork, brickwork, or badly damaged old plaster, followed by a thin, smooth set coat. In Broad Oak and the surrounding East Sussex villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
Broad Oak sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Brenchley and Seacox Heath, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
For a job in Broad Oak, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Broad Oak wall or ceiling in question, then moves through each stage in the right order: assess the substrate and rule out any damp or structural issues before plastering, apply render beads or screeds to establish a true, level guide, and on through to the finished surface. Nothing is rushed on a Broad Oak job, because the quality of float and set only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
