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 Claygate 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.
As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Claygate as part of our home patch, along with nearby Coggins Mill and Clapper Hill.
Whether it is a single damaged wall in Claygate after a leak, or a full renovation as part of a bigger Claygate project, float and set jobs in Claygate get the same fixed, no-obligation quote and the same standard of finish, regardless of size.

Float and Set in Claygate FAQs
Float and set is needed when the wall itself is out of true, bowed, or built from bare blockwork, whereas a skim coat alone is only suitable for surfaces that are already flat, such as plasterboard or a sound existing base coat.
