Staplecross, East Sussex
Float and Set Specialists Covering Staplecross, East Sussex
Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, float and set in Staplecross 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.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Staplecross in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Staplehurst and Strood.
Access and parking around Staplecross varies from one property to the next, so we always factor this into the Staplecross quote. Apply the float (base) coat, building it up to the guide and ruling it flat, whether the Staplecross job needs a van on the drive or materials carried in from the road.

Float and Set in Staplecross 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 Staplecross that a single skim coat cannot correct.
