From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out float and set throughout Riseden, East Sussex. 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.
As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Riseden as part of our home patch, along with nearby Petteridge and Queen Street.
Older Riseden 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 Riseden wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Riseden 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.
Float and Set work in Riseden starts with a conversation about the Riseden property, not a hard sell. Call 07850 161812 or send an enquiry describing the Riseden job, and R Kenward Plastering Contractors will get back to you with a free, no-obligation quote.

Float and Set in Riseden FAQs
The float coat needs to firm up and take its initial set, usually within the same day to next day, before the set coat is applied. Leaving it too long can affect how well the finishing coat bonds.
