Skimming is one of the services most requested across Fosten Green 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.
Fosten Green sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Glassenbury and Four Wents, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
