Skimming in Newburys 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 Newburys as part of our home patch, along with nearby Swiftsden and Oxleys Green.
For Newburys properties, apply a second thin coat while the first is still workable, then trowel to a smooth, flat finish, then final polish pass with water and trowel once the plaster has taken up, leaving a hard, paint-ready surface. Every skimming job in Newburys follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Newburys.
Whatever the size of the Newburys job, R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings the full range of services to Newburys, skimming included, alongside skimming, float and set, tacking, sticking, and the specialist decorative finishes for Newburys homes. Call 07850 161812 today.
