Skimming in Hocker Edge is exactly the kind of work Russ Kenward has built the business on since 2009. Covering East Sussex with 5.0 rating from 11 Google reviews, the standard fix for tired, cracked, or discoloured walls, resetting the whole surface to new-build quality rather than patching problem areas.
As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Hocker Edge as part of our home patch, along with nearby Isle OF Wight and Hill Top.
Older Hocker Edge properties sometimes still have original lath and plaster or lime-based walls, which need a different approach to a modern gypsum job. We assess the Hocker Edge wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Hocker Edge property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
Skimming in Hocker Edge is booked the same way as every other job on our books, a free Hocker Edge quote first, then a fixed price for the Hocker Edge work with no surprises. Call 07850 161812 to arrange your Hocker Edge visit.
