From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out float and set throughout Cottenden, East Sussex. 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.
Cottenden sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Curtisden Green and Dale Hill, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
Properties across East Sussex, Cottenden included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and float and set is adapted to suit whichever a Cottenden job calls for. Physically corrects the wall's line and level before the finishing coat ever goes on, which is why it lasts, rather than trying to disguise dips and bows with a single thin skim, whether the Cottenden property is period or modern.
Float and Set work in Cottenden starts with a conversation about the Cottenden property, not a hard sell. Call 07850 161812 or send an enquiry describing the Cottenden job, and R Kenward Plastering Contractors will get back to you with a free, no-obligation quote.
