Google ReviewsThe Skimming Process: Ensuring a Flawless Finish
Our skimming method involves several crucial steps. First, we meticulously prepare the surface by cleaning and priming the walls to ensure proper adhesion of the plaster. We then apply two thin coats of high-quality finishing plaster, allowing each coat to dry slightly before applying the next. This helps prevent cracking and ensures a smooth, even layer. Finally, we carefully smooth and polish the final coat to achieve a flawless surface that’s ready for painting or wallpapering. We pay attention to every detail, feathering the edges seamlessly to blend with existing surfaces.
