Are your walls looking a little tired? Perhaps they're uneven, have unsightly textures like Artex, or simply need a fresh, smooth surface ready for painting or wallpapering. Essex And Suffolk Plastering brings you expert skimming services right here in Ipswich, transforming your walls into a flawless canvas. We understand how important it is to have a perfect finish, and we are here to deliver just that.
What is Skimming and Why Choose It?
Proven Reliability and Punctuality
Skimming, also known as a skim coat, is the application of a thin layer of finishing plaster – usually just 2-3mm – over existing plasterboard or older plastered surfaces. This final layer creates a perfectly smooth base, ideal for decorating. It’s essential for new plasterboard installations after dry lining, but it's also a fantastic way to breathe new life into tired and uneven walls, helping you avoid costly replastering.

Skimming or Replastering: Which Solution is Right for You?
Choose Essex and Suffolk Plastering today
Sometimes, it's difficult to determine whether skimming will suffice or whether full replastering is needed. If your walls are heavily damaged, crumbling, or have significant damp issues, replastering may be the best solution. However, if the existing plaster is generally sound, skimming can be a much quicker and more affordable option. We can assess your walls and provide an honest, professional opinion, guiding you to the most suitable solution.
