Homeowners and builders in Highgate come to R Kenward Plastering Contractors for float and set, 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. It is one of the core services offered across Kent alongside the practice's specialist decorative finishes.
Russ Kenward covers Highgate and the surrounding Kent area on the same local round that takes in Dale Hill, Hill Top and the towns around them.

Float and Set in Highgate FAQs
Once complete, float and set leaves the same smooth, paint-ready finish as a skim coat. The difference is entirely in what happens underneath, correcting the wall's level, not in how the final surface looks or feels.
