Homeowners and builders in Ewhurst Green 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.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Ewhurst Green in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Stonecrouch and Swiftsden.
For a job in Ewhurst Green, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Ewhurst Green wall or ceiling in question, then moves through each stage in the right order: survey the surface and prep, dust down, seal porous patches, and protect flooring and fittings, mix plaster to the correct consistency for the substrate, and on through to the finished surface. Nothing is rushed on a Ewhurst Green job, because the quality of skimming only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
