What Is Skimming?
Skimming involves spreading a thin layer of finishing plaster over a solid base, such as plasterboard or existing plaster. Because the coat is thin, the surface must be prepared properly before plaster is applied.
We usually prepare the surface with one or two coats of PVA adhesive, then apply the skim coat once the surface is ready. Our plasterers carefully trowel the finish to create a strong, smooth surface suitable for painting and decorating or wallpapering.
Skimming Over Artex
If you have artex ceilings, we can prepare and re-skim them where the existing artex is solid and not too heavily textured. This can be a practical way to modernise ceilings without full removal, giving the room a fresher and smoother appearance.
