Getting skimming right in Canadia takes real experience, not just a trowel. R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job across East Sussex, the standard fix for tired, cracked, or discoloured walls, resetting the whole surface to new-build quality rather than patching problem areas.
As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Canadia as part of our home patch, along with nearby Cackle Street and Capel Cross.
Older Canadia 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 Canadia wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Canadia property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
With 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience and 5.0 rating from 11 Google reviews, R Kenward Plastering Contractors is a trusted Canadia choice for skimming across Canadia and the wider East Sussex border. Call 07850 161812 for a free Canadia quote.
