Homeowners and builders in Rockrobin come to R Kenward Plastering Contractors for skimming, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish. It is one of the core services offered across East Sussex alongside the practice's specialist decorative finishes.
As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Rockrobin as part of our home patch, along with nearby Dale Hill and Seacox Heath.
On a Rockrobin job, apply the first coat evenly across the wall or ceiling. This is the step where the difference between a rushed job and a proper one really shows, and it is exactly where R Kenward Plastering Contractors' experience across Rockrobin and the wider East Sussex border pays off.
