Oxleys Green, East Sussex

Skimming Specialists Covering Oxleys Green, East Sussex

From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out skimming throughout Oxleys Green, 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.

We look after homes and businesses throughout Oxleys Green in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Petteridge and Paddock Wood.

For Oxleys Green 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 Oxleys Green follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Oxleys Green.
