About Us
Craftsmanship You Can Trust
R Kenward Plastering Contractors is led by Russ Kenward, who has been plastering for more than 25 years, from simple one-room re-skims to bespoke, design-led projects. The business has traded from Bexhill, East Sussex since 2009.
The philosophy is simple: do the job once and do it perfectly. Russ is not the cheapest, but he is quick, efficient and clean, and every job is led and overseen by him personally from start to finish.

Our Services
Complete Plastering Solutions
From essential plastering work to specialist decorative finishes, each project receives the same attention to detail.
Skimming
Professional plaster skimming to create perfectly smooth walls and ceilings. Ideal for new builds, renovations, and refreshing tired surfaces. Our skimming service delivers a flawless base for painting or wallpapering.
Learn more →Float and Set
Traditional two-coat plastering system combining a base coat (float) with a smooth finish coat (set). Perfect for uneven walls, blockwork, and surfaces requiring a thicker application for a durable, long-lasting finish.
Learn more →Tacking
Professional fixing of plasterboards to metal or timber stud frames and joists. This method creates strong, level internal walls and ceilings, providing the ideal base for skimming or direct decoration across new builds and renovations.

Professional plasterboard adhesion directly onto solid walls. An effective solution for drylining that minimises room depth loss while creating smooth, straight walls ready for finishing.
