Skimming Specialists Covering Burwash Weald, East Sussex
Skimming is one of the services most requested across Burwash Weald 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.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Burwash Weald in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Stonecrouch and Brightling.
Older Burwash Weald 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 Burwash Weald wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Burwash Weald property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
