Castle Hill, Kent
Local Float and Set in Castle Hill and the Surrounding Villages
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 Castle Hill and the surrounding Kent villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
Castle Hill sits within our core Kent coverage, alongside nearby communities like Claygate and Clapper Hill, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
Access and parking around Castle Hill varies from one property to the next, so we always factor this into the Castle Hill quote. Apply the float (base) coat, building it up to the guide and ruling it flat, whether the Castle Hill job needs a van on the drive or materials carried in from the road.
No two Castle Hill jobs are quite the same, which is why every Castle Hill quote for float and set is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Castle Hill jobs.

Float and Set in Castle Hill FAQs
On period properties in Castle Hill we assess the existing wall build-up first, since older solid-wall construction sometimes calls for breathable lime-based systems rather than modern gypsum float and set. We advise on the right approach during the quote.
