Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, float and set in Staplehurst 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.

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