Homeowners and builders in Staplecross 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.
From our Beckley base we reach Staplecross and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Staplehurst and Standen Street.
Properties across East Sussex, Staplecross included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and skimming is adapted to suit whichever a Staplecross job calls for. The standard fix for tired, cracked, or discoloured walls, resetting the whole surface to new-build quality rather than patching problem areas, whether the Staplecross property is period or modern.
No two Staplecross jobs are quite the same, which is why every Staplecross quote for skimming is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Staplecross jobs.
