Homeowners and builders in Wissenden come to R Kenward Plastering Contractors for float and set, 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. It is one of the core services offered across East Sussex alongside the practice's specialist decorative finishes.
Wissenden sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Wittersham and Winchet Hill, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
On a Wissenden job, apply the float (base) coat, building it up to the guide and ruling it flat. This is the step where the difference between a rushed job and a proper one really shows, and it is exactly where R Kenward Plastering Contractors' experience across Wissenden and the wider East Sussex border pays off.
No two Wissenden jobs are quite the same, which is why every Wissenden quote for float and set is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Wissenden jobs.

Float and Set in Wissenden FAQs
Float and set generally costs more than a straightforward skim because it uses more material and takes longer to apply correctly, reflecting the extra work of levelling an uneven or damaged wall rather than finishing an already-flat one.
