Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, skimming in The Platt 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.
We look after homes and businesses throughout The Platt in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Three Cups Corner and The Quarter.
On a The Platt 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 The Platt and the wider East Sussex border pays off.
Skimming in The Platt is booked the same way as every other job on our books, a free The Platt quote first, then a fixed price for the The Platt work with no surprises. Call 07850 161812 to arrange your The Platt visit.

Skimming in The Platt FAQs
A skim coat resets the visible surface to new condition, but if cracks are caused by structural movement rather than surface ageing, the underlying cause should be checked first. Most cosmetic cracking in older plaster is resolved permanently by a full skim.
