What Exactly is Skimming, and When Do 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 thick – to existing plasterboard or plastered walls. This creates a flawlessly smooth surface, ideal for a fresh coat of paint or decorative wallpaper. It's the perfect solution for refreshing dated interiors, covering up minor imperfections, or preparing newly plastered walls for decoration. If you're aiming for that perfect, professional finish, skimming is essential.

We then apply a thin, even coat of premium-quality finishing plaster, paying close attention to detail and working diligently to eliminate any imperfections. The result? Walls that are impeccably smooth and ready for your chosen decorative finish.
