Quality wall skimming eliminates surface problems that make decorating difficult.

Experienced plasterers work methodically — proper prep, consistent application, clean finishing — delivering surfaces that transform how your rooms look and feel.
Ceiling skim coats create clean, modern overhead finishes that brighten rooms and update tired interiors. Old Artex, damaged plaster, and uneven surfaces vanish beneath professional skimming applied by experienced tradesmen. Quality preparation, skilled application, and attention to detail ensure ceilings that look right and stay smooth for years.
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.
Professional finishing transforms new plasterboard into smooth, seamless surfaces ready for any decorative treatment. Extensions, loft conversions, and new builds need quality taping, jointing, and skimming to create walls that look right. Skilled plasterers ensure lasting results — no visible joints showing through, no cracking over time, just flawless finishes throughout.

Experienced plasterers work efficiently through whole rooms, creating smooth surfaces that make spaces feel fresh and decorating straightforward.
Cheap skimming costs more when you’re repainting rippled walls a year later. Here’s the detail on our quality-first approach across Aldingbourne.
Years plastering near Bognor Regis area, Local landmarks, and Community facilities teaches you Aldingbourne walls properly. Not from books — from opening up ceilings, stripping back failures, seeing what previous plasterers did wrong. That hands-on knowledge improves every assessment.
Board finishing for new builds, renovation re-skims on tired walls, insurance repairs blending into undamaged areas — the starting conditions vary enormously. Consistent Aldingbourne quality means adjusting approach while maintaining standards.
Aldingbourne properties feature mainly mixed housing and period properties, ceilings around 2.4m to 2.6m (7.9ft – 8.5ft). That housing consistency means we’ve solved the same problems repeatedly — knowledge that transfers directly to your walls.
Contact puts you directly in touch with your tradesman — the person who’ll inspect surfaces, make preparation calls, and deliver quality finishes. Proper trade conversation about your specific walls, not generic sales chat.
Initial chat covers what you’re dealing with — wall condition, finish requirements, known issues. The plasterer uses this to understand scope, then arranges assessment at convenient timing for thorough surface evaluation and detailed pricing.
On-site assessment covers thorough wall checking — structural soundness, surface adhesion, absorption rates, damp indicators. You’ll understand what preparation’s needed before skimming begins. Clear quotes follow actual site evaluation.
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.
Most people ask similar things before booking — what preparation’s needed, how long work takes, when decorating can start. Direct answers below.
Room timing varies with surface requirements. Straightforward re-skimming in a standard bedroom completes in a day. Add preparation complications, problem areas, or ceiling work, and schedules extend. Accurate timing follows from proper wall inspection.
Some do, some don’t — existing condition decides. Sound plaster gets keyed and skimmed over. Hollow-sounding blown areas need removing. Multiple heavy coats might require stripping back. Assessment reveals what preparation your surfaces genuinely require.
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 type and condition determine approach. Light matt emulsion on sound plaster can take skim after keying. Heavy paint buildup, gloss finishes, or silk coatings cause bonding problems — typically requiring stripping or bonding coat application. Assessment identifies what preparation your painted surfaces need.
Drying varies with conditions — ventilation, temperature, coat thickness. Surface typically dries enough in 2-4 days for mist coating, though full cure takes weeks. Diluted matt emulsion first seals the surface properly. Early decoration causes paint problems.
