Are your walls looking a little tired? Perhaps you've got imperfections that are stopping you from achieving that perfect finish you've been dreaming of? Essex And Suffolk Plastering offers professional skimming services right here in Framlingham, transforming your walls into smooth, even canvases ready for decorating. We understand that achieving the right finish is important for a beautiful home, and that's where our expertise comes in.
What Exactly is Skimming and When Might You Need It?
Proven Reliability and Punctuality
Skimming, simply put, is the application of a thin coat of finishing plaster – usually just a couple of millimetres thick. This smooths out imperfections on existing walls or plasterboard, providing an ideal surface for painting or wallpapering. You might need skimming if you're covering up old artex, repairing damaged plaster, or preparing newly installed plasterboard for decoration. It's the secret to achieving that flawlessly smooth look.

Google ReviewsThe Essex And Suffolk Plastering Skimming Method: Precision and Care
We don't just slap on plaster. Our skimming method involves careful preparation, the use of high-quality materials, and a keen eye for detail. The process starts with a thorough assessment of the existing surface to check for any loose plaster or damage that needs addressing. We then apply a bonding agent to help the new plaster adhere properly. Finally, we apply two thin coats of finishing plaster, allowing each to set slightly before applying the next. This ensures a strong, smooth, and long-lasting finish.
Skimming Over Artex in Framlingham: A Cost-Effective Solution
Artex ceilings and walls were popular once, but now they can look dated. Skimming is a great way to cover them up without the messy and costly process of removing them entirely. Our team has years of experience skimming over artex, so you can be confident of a perfect finish every time. We will properly prepare the surface to ensure the new plaster adheres correctly and the old texture doesn't show through.
