Google ReviewsOur Proven Skimming Method: A Step-by-Step Approach
We don’t just slap on plaster and hope for the best. Our skimming method involves careful preparation and precise application. First, we thoroughly clean and prepare the existing surface, ensuring it’s free from loose debris and any contaminants that could compromise adhesion. Next, we apply a bonding agent to promote a strong key. Finally, our experienced plasterers apply the skim coat with expertise, carefully feathering the edges for a seamless finish. We often apply two coats to ensure absolute smoothness.
