Skimming is one of the services most requested across Brandfold and East Sussex. A skim coat is the thin, final layer of plaster that turns a rough or patched wall into a smooth, paint-ready surface. R Kenward Plastering Contractors has been doing exactly this since 2009, with 5.0 rating from 11 google reviews.
From our Beckley base we reach Brandfold and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Benenden and Brightling.
Access and parking around Brandfold varies from one property to the next, so we always factor this into the Brandfold quote. Apply the first coat evenly across the wall or ceiling, whether the Brandfold job needs a van on the drive or materials carried in from the road.
No two Brandfold jobs are quite the same, which is why every Brandfold quote for skimming is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Brandfold jobs.

Skimming in Brandfold FAQs
Yes. Plasterboard is designed to be skimmed, not painted directly. The skim coat seals the joints, hides fixing screws, and gives a uniform, smooth surface that paint or wallpaper needs to look right.
