Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, skimming in Sandown Park gets the same careful approach from R Kenward Plastering Contractors, the standard fix for tired, cracked, or discoloured walls, resetting the whole surface to new-build quality rather than patching problem areas.
From our Beckley base we reach Sandown Park and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Rushers Cross and Sinkhurst Green.
Older Sandown Park 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 Sandown Park wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Sandown Park property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
With 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience and 5.0 rating from 11 Google reviews, R Kenward Plastering Contractors is a trusted Sandown Park choice for skimming across Sandown Park and the wider East Sussex border. Call 07850 161812 for a free Sandown Park quote.

Skimming in Sandown Park FAQs
Yes, wallpaper should always be stripped back to bare plaster or masonry before skimming. Skimming over paper traps moisture, prevents the new plaster from bonding properly, and risks the finish cracking or lifting.
