Local Float and Set in Cranbrook Common and the Surrounding Villages

In Cranbrook Common 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.
From our Beckley base we reach Cranbrook Common and the rest of Kent quickly, including neighbouring Swiftsden and Crit Hall.

Float and Set in Cranbrook Common 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.
