Local Skimming in Chitcombe and the Surrounding Villages
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 Chitcombe 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 Chitcombe and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Capel Cross and Seacox Heath.
Patchy, powdery, or flaking plaster on older walls is another common reason skimming gets requested in Chitcombe. On every Chitcombe job we survey the property first, either in person or via a FaceTime walkthrough, before quoting for Chitcombe work, always as a free, no-obligation quote.
