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 carries out skimming for homes and businesses across Keys Green and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Keys Green in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Lamberden and Kilndown.
Keys Green jobs get exactly the same standard as work anywhere else across East Sussex. Mix plaster to the correct consistency for the substrate, and for Keys Green specifically that means factoring in the mix of period and newer properties typical of the area around Keys Green.
