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 Queen Street 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.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Queen Street in Kent, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Seacox Heath and Punnetts Town.
Properties across Kent, Queen Street included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and float and set is adapted to suit whichever a Queen Street job calls for. 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, whether the Queen Street property is period or modern.
From single rooms to full renovations, R Kenward Plastering Contractors is the Queen Street choice for float and set, backed by 5.0 rating from 11 Google reviews and a working base close enough to Queen Street to keep quotes quick. Call 07850 161812 about your Queen Street project.
