Earls Down, East Sussex
Local Skimming in Earls Down and the Surrounding Villages
Homeowners and builders in Earls Down come to R Kenward Plastering Contractors for skimming, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish. It is one of the core services offered across East Sussex alongside the practice's specialist decorative finishes.
Russ Kenward covers Earls Down and the surrounding East Sussex area on the same local round that takes in Durgates, East End and the towns around them.
For Earls Down properties, apply a second thin coat while the first is still workable, then trowel to a smooth, flat finish, then final polish pass with water and trowel once the plaster has taken up, leaving a hard, paint-ready surface. Every skimming job in Earls Down follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Earls Down.
Whatever the size of the Earls Down job, R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings the full range of services to Earls Down, skimming included, alongside skimming, float and set, tacking, sticking, and the specialist decorative finishes for Earls Down homes. Call 07850 161812 today.
