Professional patch skimming restores localised damage without full room replastering. Impact holes, cable chases, and cracked sections respond to targeted repairs that blend perfectly with surrounding plaster. Experienced tradesmen match textures and finishes exactly — patches that disappear completely and save the cost of larger-scale work.

Plastering is a race against drying time — preparation decides whether you win or lose. Here’s our approach to skimming work throughout Senneleys Park.
Local knowledge from Northfield Shopping Centre across to Northfield Pool means understanding Senneleys Park construction patterns. Victorian artisan housing near the centre, inter-war expansion further out, post-war estates on the edges — each zone has characteristic wall types we’ve learned to handle.
Kitchen walls after tile removal, bedroom ceilings hiding Artex, hallways with a century of wallpaper paste — every surface has history that affects how plaster behaves. We read that history properly across Senneleys Park before picking up a trowel.
Properties throughout Senneleys Park are predominantly 1930s semis and post-war housing, ceilings 2.4m to 2.6m (7.9ft – 8.5ft). Concentrated experience on this housing stock builds deep understanding — not textbook knowledge, but hands-on familiarity with how these specific walls behave.
Contact reaches the tradesman immediately — the same person who’ll assess your walls, solve any surface problems, and deliver the finished skim coats. Questions about wall condition and preparation get proper answers from someone who knows.
Discussion focuses on understanding your situation — what the walls look like now, what you want them to become, any previous plastering issues. Assessment gets arranged at suitable timing to check surfaces firsthand before quoting.
Assessment means evaluating walls properly — adhesion testing, suction checking, damp investigation, previous repair assessment. The plasterer explains preparation requirements in plain English. Quotes based on real conditions, not phone descriptions.
Skimming proceeds professionally — surfaces prepared correctly, plaster mixed fresh, coats applied evenly, finishing done at the right moment. Protection goes down throughout, cleanup happens after. Clear guidance covers drying periods, mist coat timing, and decoration readiness.
Before committing to plastering, sensible questions need answering — preparation scope, realistic timing, decoration readiness. Here’s the clear breakdown.
A typical room with reasonable walls takes around a day to complete. Surface condition affects timing more than room size — walls needing stripping, bonding, or extensive prep work add time. Ceiling skimming alongside walls adds half a day typically. Assessment provides accurate scheduling for your specific surfaces.
Not always — it depends on existing surface condition. Sound plaster that’s firmly attached just needs keying and coating. Blown plaster that sounds hollow when tapped needs removing. Multiple previous coats building thickness sometimes require stripping. Assessment determines what your specific walls need — some skim straight over, others need work first.
Skimming applies thin finish layers over prepared surfaces — creating smooth walls from existing plaster. Full plastering includes base coat application on masonry, rendering, or building thickness. Typical home re-finishing means skim coats over what exists already.
Paint condition affects preparation significantly. Matt emulsion over good plaster takes skim after proper keying. Gloss finishes, silk coatings, or thick paint layers prevent adequate adhesion — typically requiring removal or bonding treatment. Assessment determines your needs.
Drying time depends on thickness, ventilation, and temperature. Surface usually ready for mist coating within 2-4 days, complete curing takes longer. Diluted emulsion first seals new plaster properly before full painting. Decorating too early causes problems.
