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 Quedgeley.
Working across Quedgeley for years means knowing property histories. The streets around St Jamess Church flooded in ’97. The estate near Quedgeley Industrial Park had cavity wall insulation problems. The houses toward Bristol Road retail parks suffer from condensation. History affects wall condition.
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 Quedgeley.
Local properties run mainly modern estates and 1980s housing, 2.4m to 2.6m (7.9ft – 8.5ft) ceilings. Concentrated work on this housing type creates genuine expertise — not general plastering knowledge, but specific understanding of how Quedgeley walls respond to skim coats.
Enquiries reach the plasterer personally — not intermediaries booking jobs they don’t understand. You discuss surface conditions with someone who’s seen thousands of walls and knows which need stripping, which need bonding, and which just need keying.
Initial discussion covers the basics — wall condition, room count, finish expectations, any concerns. The plasterer arranges assessment for suitable timing, allowing proper surface inspection before committing to detailed quotes.
Site visits involve systematic surface reading — checking soundness, testing absorption, identifying weak spots, noting previous repairs. Preparation needs get explained clearly. Pricing matches actual wall condition, not generic estimates.
Jobs proceed methodically — surface prep, plaster application, skilled finishing. Protection covers surrounding areas throughout work. Complete tidying follows. You receive practical guidance about drying times, emulsion misting requirements, and decoration scheduling.
The usual skimming queries — how walls get prepared, how long it takes, when paint goes on. Straightforward answers, no jargon.
Standard room skimming typically takes a day on reasonable surfaces. Problem walls needing serious preparation extend timing considerably. Ceiling inclusion adds hours. Surface condition varies hugely between properties — assessment provides accurate scheduling for your specific walls.
Not automatically — it depends what’s underneath. Good plaster that’s firmly attached just needs preparing and coating. Problem areas — hollow sections, loose coats, heavy buildup — need stripping. Assessment determines requirements for your specific walls.
Skimming means thin finish coats over prepared existing surfaces. Full plastering includes base coats on brick, render application, depth building. Typical home jobs involve re-skimming existing plaster rather than plastering from scratch — thinner applications, quicker completion.
Sometimes — it depends on paint type and surface preparation. Matt emulsion over sound plaster can receive skim after proper keying with coarse sandpaper or bonding agent. Gloss, silk, or multiple thick paint coats create adhesion problems — stripping or heavy preparation often necessary. Assessment determines what approach your painted walls need.
Standard skimming dries surface-ready within 2-4 days typically, though full curing extends to 2-3 weeks. Mist coat application first — watered-down matt emulsion sealing porous surfaces — then proper decoration. Insufficient drying causes paint failures.
