When is skimming suitable?

Skimming creates a thin plaster finish over a suitable surface. It can be an option for worn or uneven walls, newly boarded areas, and ceilings that need a fresh finish.

The existing surface needs to be assessed first. Loose plaster, cracks, wallpaper and other surface problems may require preparation or repairs before skimming can begin.

What happens before the work?

Start by sending your location, a description of the job and photographs if available. Include whether you need walls, ceilings or both plastered.

We’ll discuss the condition of the surfaces and arrange a visit if needed. Before work starts, we’ll explain the preparation required and what you’ll need to move or clear.

Can you skim over wallpaper?

Wallpaper and paste need to be removed before plastering. Let us know what’s currently on your walls so we can discuss the preparation your room needs.

When can I decorate?

Fresh plaster must be fully dry before decorating. Drying time varies with the surface, ventilation and conditions in the room. Follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for use on new plaster.
