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 Gun Green 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 Gun Green and the rest of Kent quickly, including neighbouring Stonecrouch and Great Jobs Cross.
On a Gun Green job, apply the float (base) coat, building it up to the guide and ruling it flat. This is the step where the difference between a rushed job and a proper one really shows, and it is exactly where R Kenward Plastering Contractors' experience across Gun Green and the wider Kent border pays off.

Float and Set in Gun Green FAQs
Yes, though it is more commonly used on walls. Uneven or damaged ceilings can also be corrected with a float and set system where a straightforward skim would not hide the underlying unevenness.
