Stonegate, East Sussex
Local Skimming in Stonegate and the Surrounding Villages
Skimming is a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish. In Stonegate and the surrounding East Sussex villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
From our Beckley base we reach Stonegate and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring The Moor and Standen Street.
For Stonegate 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 Stonegate follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Stonegate.
