From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out skimming throughout Wadhurst, East Sussex. A thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
From our Beckley base we reach Wadhurst and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Union Street and Vinehall Street.
For Wadhurst 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 Wadhurst follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Wadhurst.

Skimming in Wadhurst FAQs
Yes. Plasterboard is designed to be skimmed, not painted directly. The skim coat seals the joints, hides fixing screws, and gives a uniform, smooth surface that paint or wallpaper needs to look right.
