Blending plaster repairs requires professional technique that makes patches invisible on finished walls. Damage from various causes — impacts, removed fittings, cables, cracks — gets properly prepared and skim coated to match existing surfaces. Careful feathering and texture matching ensure seamless results ready for any decorative treatment.

Picking a plasterer for skimming isn’t straightforward — prices vary, quality varies, and you can’t see the difference until paint goes on. Here’s what we offer across Cannock Wood.
We’ve opened up walls from Armitage with Handsacre right through to Rugeley Road. The surprises reduce over time — you learn where the horse hair plaster sits, which estates used lightweight blocks, where the council did mass re-skims in the eighties. Cannock Wood walls become familiar.
Full room re-skims where everything matches, single walls after radiator moves, ceilings following leak repairs, new boards in extensions — the scope varies but the preparation discipline stays constant across Cannock Wood.
Properties throughout Cannock Wood are predominantly stone cottages and modern houses, ceilings 2.5m to 2.7m (8.2ft – 8.9ft). Concentrated experience on this housing stock builds deep understanding — not textbook knowledge, but hands-on familiarity with how these specific walls behave.
Contact connects you directly with your local tradesman — the person who’ll inspect your walls and deliver smooth finishes. Questions about surface types, preparation approaches, and expected results get trade answers, not sales responses.
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.
On-site evaluation includes systematic checking — surface soundness, absorption consistency, damp presence, repair history. The plasterer explains what preparation involves and why. Quotes based on actual conditions, not hopeful assumptions about hidden problems.
Work happens methodically — proper preparation, controlled application, careful finishing while the plaster’s still workable. Dust sheets protect your belongings, and complete cleanup follows. You’ll know exact drying times, when emulsion misting should happen, and how soon proper decoration can start.
Practical questions deserve practical answers — preparation requirements, job duration, drying times. Here’s what you need to know about skimming work.
Completion time varies with surface condition rather than room size alone. Average bedroom on decent plaster takes a day. Walls requiring stripping, bonding, or substantial prep work take longer. Ceiling inclusion adds time. Assessment provides realistic scheduling for your particular surfaces.
Stripping isn’t always necessary — wall condition dictates preparation. Sound plaster receives skim directly over existing surfaces. Hollow sections, loose coats, or thick buildup need removing first. Assessment reveals what your walls genuinely require.
Skimming means applying thin finish coats — usually 2-3mm — over existing prepared surfaces. Plastering includes heavier work like base coats on brick, render application, or building thickness. Home re-skimming typically involves thin finish coats over existing plaster, not full plastering systems.
Depends on the paint and what’s beneath. Thin matt emulsion over good plaster skims after proper keying preparation. Thick paint layers, gloss finishes, or silk coatings prevent proper adhesion — usually needing removal or bonding treatment. Assessment determines requirements for your surfaces.
Drying varies with conditions. Surface typically ready for mist coating within 2-4 days, full curing extends longer. New plaster needs diluted emulsion first — sealing porous surfaces before proper paint application. Insufficient drying causes failures.
