What is Skimming and How Can it Benefit Your Thetford Home?
Proven Reliability and Punctuality
Skimming, often called a skim coat, is the application of a thin layer of finishing plaster over existing plaster or plasterboard. It's the ideal solution for creating a flawless base for decoration. Whether you're dealing with damaged walls, textured surfaces like Artex, or simply want to refresh your living space, skimming can make a world of difference. It's particularly beneficial after dry lining (plasterboarding), creating that essential smooth canvas ready for your chosen paint or wallpaper.

Google ReviewsOur Skimming Method: Ensuring a Perfect Finish
Our experienced plasterers employ a meticulous method to achieve a consistently high-quality skim finish. We begin by carefully preparing the surface, making sure it's clean, stable, and properly primed. This is a really important stage, as it helps the new plaster bond correctly. We then apply thin, even coats of finishing plaster, paying close attention to detail to eliminate any imperfections. We take our time, smoothly "feathering" the edges to blend seamlessly with the surrounding area. The result is a perfectly smooth, professional finish that will last.
Skimming Over Artex: A Cost-Effective Transformation
Many homes in Thetford still have textured Artex ceilings or walls. Skimming is a great way to cover these surfaces without the need for complete removal, which can be messy and expensive. Our team are adept at preparing Artex surfaces and applying a smooth skim coat, modernising your home and providing a fresh, clean look.
