Re-skimming walls removes years of imperfections and creates fresh, smooth surfaces throughout your property. Old wallpaper damage, filled holes, patchy repairs, and uneven textures vanish beneath professional skim coats applied by skilled tradesmen. Proper preparation, quality materials, and careful technique ensure lasting results — walls that stay smooth, take paint evenly, and look professionally finished for years.
Ceiling re-skimming services cover everything from single rooms to whole-house transformations. Artex removal, water damage repair, and general resurfacing all benefit from professional skimming that delivers smooth, lasting finishes. Experienced plasterers handle overhead challenges efficiently — proper prep, quality application, seamless results — ceilings ready for any decorative treatment.
Quality patch skimming makes damage disappear without extensive replastering work. Cable routes, fixture removal, impact holes, and localised cracking all respond to targeted repairs that blend invisibly. Experienced plasterers match existing textures, feather edges carefully, and finish seamlessly — patches that stay hidden and eliminate the need for larger-scale work.
Expert new build finishing transforms plasterboard into the smooth, professional surfaces your project deserves.

The difference between acceptable and excellent sits in the final ten minutes of finishing. Here’s where our focus goes across Spital.
Years covering Spital from Hasland Church through Hasland Playing Fields to Hasland Shopping Centre builds genuine understanding. You learn which developers cut corners, which streets have damp problems, which estates used experimental materials. That insight prevents problems before they start.
Extension walls joining original walls, old ceilings meeting new plasterboard, repairs that must disappear into existing finishes — transitions need careful handling. Seamless results across Spital come from managing where different surfaces meet.
Locally council estates and post-war terraces properties dominate Spital, generally 2.4m to 2.5m (7.9ft – 8.2ft) to the ceiling. Years skimming this specific housing builds instinct about wall behaviour, typical conditions, and preparation approaches that deliver lasting results.
When you call, the plasterer picks up — same person who’ll read your walls and make preparation decisions on site. That means proper discussion about surface condition, realistic expectations, and what’s actually involved in getting smooth results.
Conversation focuses on understanding the job — current surface state, scope of work, access considerations. Assessment gets booked at convenient timing to inspect walls thoroughly and provide clear, accurate pricing.
Assessment includes thorough surface checking — hollow spots, suction differences, failed previous coats, damp indicators. You’ll know what preparation’s required before work begins. Clear quotes follow, based on actual wall condition rather than estimates from descriptions.
Skimming proceeds professionally — proper surface prep, fresh mixing, controlled application, timely finishing. Work areas get full protection, and complete tidying follows. Clear guidance addresses drying stages, mist coating requirements, and realistic decoration timing.
The usual skimming queries — how walls get prepared, how long it takes, when paint goes on. Straightforward answers, no jargon.
Skimming a standard room takes roughly a day on walls in reasonable condition. Poor surfaces needing bonding, repairs, or extensive preparation add significant time. Ceilings alongside walls extend the schedule. Accurate duration estimates follow from proper wall assessment.
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.
Skim coats are thin finish applications — typically 2-3mm — creating smooth walls over existing surfaces. Plastering includes heavier work like base coats, render, or building thickness on bare masonry. Most domestic re-finishing involves skimming rather than complete replastering.
Depends on what paint and how much. Thin matt emulsion takes skim after keying preparation. Thick layers, gloss finishes, or silk coatings cause adhesion problems — usually requiring removal or bonding agent application. Assessment identifies the right approach for your surfaces.
Drying depends on thickness, ventilation, temperature. Surface usually ready within 2-4 days for mist coating, complete curing takes longer. Diluted emulsion first seals new plaster properly. Early decoration causes adhesion problems.
