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 Pembury 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.
Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers Pembury and the wider Kent area, including nearby Pullington and Punnetts Town.
Older Pembury properties sometimes still have original lath and plaster or lime-based walls, which need a different approach to a modern gypsum job. We assess the Pembury wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Pembury property, 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.
Whatever the size of the Pembury job, R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings the full range of services to Pembury, float and set included, alongside skimming, float and set, tacking, sticking, and the specialist decorative finishes for Pembury homes. Call 07850 161812 today.

Float and Set in Pembury FAQs
On period properties in Pembury we assess the existing wall build-up first, since older solid-wall construction sometimes calls for breathable lime-based systems rather than modern gypsum float and set. We advise on the right approach during the quote.
