Skimming is one of the services most requested across Flimwell 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.
From our Beckley base we reach Flimwell and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Dale Hill and Four Throws.
Properties across East Sussex, Flimwell included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and skimming is adapted to suit whichever a Flimwell job calls for. The standard fix for tired, cracked, or discoloured walls, resetting the whole surface to new-build quality rather than patching problem areas, whether the Flimwell property is period or modern.
No two Flimwell jobs are quite the same, which is why every Flimwell quote for skimming is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Flimwell jobs.
