Float and Set in Burwash Common, East Sussex

Float and set is the traditional two-coat system for bringing uneven blockwork or badly damaged walls back to a true, flat, durable finish. R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out float and set for homes and businesses across Burwash Common and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.

As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Burwash Common as part of our home patch, along with nearby Capel Cross and Brenchley.

Older Burwash Common properties sometimes still have original lath and plaster or lime-based walls, which need a different approach to a modern gypsum job. We assess the Burwash Common wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Burwash Common property, 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.
