Homeowners and builders in Frant 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.
