Are your walls looking a little tired? Perhaps they've got some unsightly imperfections, or you're just wanting to freshen them up for a new coat of paint. At Essex And Suffolk Plastering, we understand that smooth walls make all the difference to the look and feel of your home. That's where our professional skimming services in Watton come in. We're dedicated to providing a flawless finish that you'll love.
What is Skimming and When Might You Need It?
Proven Reliability and Punctuality
Skimming, also known as a skim coat, involves applying a thin layer of finishing plaster (typically just 2-3mm) over existing plaster or plasterboard. It's the ideal solution for creating a perfectly smooth surface, ready for painting or wallpapering. You might need skimming if you're covering artex, repairing minor damage, or simply wanting to achieve a more modern, even look on your walls. Skimming is also essential after dry lining (plasterboarding) to create that perfect canvas for decoration.

Skimming vs. Full Plastering: Understanding the Difference
Choose Essex and Suffolk Plastering today
It's important to understand the difference between skimming and full plastering. Skimming is a surface treatment, while plastering involves applying several layers of plaster to a wall. If your walls are in reasonably good condition, skimming is often the most cost-effective and efficient solution. If you have more extensive damage or your walls are very uneven, full plastering might be necessary.
