THE RIGHT FINISH STARTS HERE

Plastering & skimming

Skimming adds a thin finishing coat to a suitable wall or ceiling, creating a smooth surface ready for decoration.

Find the right specialist for your project

Look for a business that explicitly lists this service and can show you relevant examples. Use the directory to explore profiles, then discuss the condition of your property and the finish you want.

What to ask before you book

  • Tell the plasterer whether the surface is painted, bare plaster or plasterboard.
  • Ask whether preparation, beads, materials and waste removal are included.
  • Discuss drying and decoration instructions for your particular finish.

Agree the details

Ask for a written quotation covering preparation, materials, labour, protection, access and waste removal. Confirm what is included and how any changes will be priced.
