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 The Crook 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.
Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers The Crook and the wider East Sussex area, including nearby Three Leg Cross and Three Chimneys.
Older The Crook 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 The Crook wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular The Crook property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
