From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out skimming throughout Johns Cross, East Sussex. A thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers Johns Cross and the wider East Sussex area, including nearby Hook Green and Hurst Green.
Older Johns Cross 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 Johns Cross wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Johns Cross property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
