Professional Skimming Serving Union Street
Homeowners and builders in Union Street 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.
Union Street sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Dale Hill and Stonecrouch, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
Older Union Street 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 Union Street wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Union Street property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
