Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, float and set in Hartley gets the same careful approach from R Kenward Plastering Contractors, 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.
Hartley sits within our core Kent coverage, alongside nearby communities like Great Cheveney and Swiftsden, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
On a Hartley 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 Hartley and the wider Kent border pays off.
No two Hartley jobs are quite the same, which is why every Hartley 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 Hartley jobs.
