What is Skimming and When Do You Need It in Harleston?
Proven Reliability and Punctuality
Skimming, also known as a skim coat, involves applying a thin layer of finishing plaster over existing plasterboard or old plaster to create a smooth, even surface. This is a cost-effective way to rejuvenate your walls and ceilings.
You might need skimming if:
- Your walls have imperfections such as small cracks, dents, or uneven textures.
- You're preparing new plasterboard walls for painting or wallpapering.
- You want to cover up outdated textures like Artex (although this may require specialist preparation beforehand).
- You're looking to achieve a modern, smooth finish on previously rough or damaged surfaces.

Google ReviewsThe Essex And Suffolk Plastering Skimming Method: Precision and Care
Our skimming process is meticulous, ensuring a high-quality finish every time:
- Preparation is Key: We carefully prepare the surface by cleaning and priming it to ensure proper adhesion of the plaster. This is an important step often overlooked.
- Expert Application: Our experienced plasterers apply the skim coat evenly, paying close attention to detail to eliminate any imperfections.
- Achieving a Smooth Finish: We use specialist techniques to create a perfectly smooth surface, ready for painting or wallpapering. We check and re-check our work, making sure you're paying for a high quality service.
Skimming vs. Full Plastering: What’s the Difference?
While both skimming and plastering involve applying plaster to walls, they serve different purposes. Full plastering is typically required for bare brickwork or when the existing plaster is severely damaged. It involves multiple layers of plaster to create a solid foundation. Skimming, on the other hand, is a thinner layer applied over existing surfaces to create a smooth finish. Choosing the right one is very important.
