Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, float and set in Johns Cross 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.
As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Johns Cross as part of our home patch, along with nearby Horns Cross and Iden Green.
Access and parking around Johns Cross varies from one property to the next, so we always factor this into the Johns Cross quote. Apply the float (base) coat, building it up to the guide and ruling it flat, whether the Johns Cross job needs a van on the drive or materials carried in from the road.
No two Johns Cross jobs are quite the same, which is why every Johns Cross 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 Johns Cross jobs.

Float and Set in Johns Cross FAQs
Float and set is a traditional two-coat plastering system where a thicker base coat, the float, is applied and levelled to correct uneven or damaged walls, followed by a thin finishing coat, the set, trowelled smooth on top. It is used on new blockwork, extensions, and badly damaged masonry in Johns Cross that a single skim coat cannot correct.
