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 The Quarter 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 The Quarter and the wider Kent area, including nearby Swiftsden and Three Leg Cross.
Properties across Kent, The Quarter included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and float and set is adapted to suit whichever a The Quarter 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 The Quarter property is period or modern.

Float and Set in The Quarter FAQs
Yes, though it is more commonly used on walls. Uneven or damaged ceilings can also be corrected with a float and set system where a straightforward skim would not hide the underlying unevenness.
