Skimming is a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish. In Berners Hill 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.
From our Beckley base we reach Berners Hill and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Benenden and Brightling.
Whether the Berners Hill job is a single room or a whole property, the same care goes into skimming in Berners Hill as anywhere else across East Sussex. Survey the surface and prep, dust down, seal porous patches, and protect flooring and fittings, adapted to whatever the Berners Hill property and its Berners Hill access happen to need.
