Winchelsea, East Sussex
Float and Set Specialists Covering Winchelsea, East Sussex
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 Winchelsea and the surrounding East Sussex 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 Winchelsea and the wider East Sussex area, including nearby Swiftsden and Seacox Heath.
Older Winchelsea 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 Winchelsea wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Winchelsea 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 in Winchelsea 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.
