Our Skimming Services in Round Green

Wall Skimming

Professional wall re-skimming solves surface problems that paint alone can’t fix. Rough textures, visible repairs, and uneven plaster need proper skim coating to create smooth, consistent walls. Skilled tradesmen assess conditions, prepare surfaces correctly, and apply quality finishes that hide imperfections completely — delivering walls ready for any decorative treatment you’re planning.

Ceiling Skimming

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.

Patch & Repair Skimming

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.

New Build Finishing

Plasterboard skim finishing delivers new-build quality on extension walls, conversion ceilings, and renovation projects. Professional joint treatment and smooth skim coats create seamless surfaces that transform raw construction into finished living spaces. Quality workmanship ensures lasting results — walls ready for decoration and built to stay that way.

Full Room Skimming

Complete room re-skimming transforms tired spaces with consistent professional finishes throughout. Walls and ceilings receive full attention — unified textures, even coverage, seamless quality everywhere. Experienced plasterers work efficiently through whole rooms, creating smooth surfaces that make spaces feel fresh and decorating straightforward.

Why choose us for skimming in Round Green?

Plaster forgives nothing — every shortcut shows eventually. Here’s the honest detail on how we work throughout Round Green.

Years of Hands On Experience

Years covering Round Green from St Marys Church through Town Hall to George Street 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.

Skimming Service Expertise

Re-skimming old walls, smoothing over textured ceilings, finishing new extension boards, blending repairs into existing surfaces — different starting points need different approaches. We assess properly before mixing any plaster, ensuring preparation matches what Round Green walls actually need.

We Understand the Local Housing Stock

Round Green housing runs mostly inter-war semis and post-war housing, ceilings around 2.5m to 2.6m (8.2ft – 8.5ft). Those property types share characteristics — similar wall construction, common problem areas, predictable preparation needs. Experience on this specific stock makes assessment faster and more accurate.

Our skimming process in Round Green

Direct to the plasterer, no filtering

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.

Questions asked, timing confirmed

First conversation focuses on understanding your walls — what’s on them now, what finish you’re after, how many rooms need attention. Based on that, assessment gets arranged at a time that suits. No pressure, no commitment until you’ve had surfaces checked properly and received clear pricing.

What they check, how long

Site visits mean proper surface evaluation — checking adhesion, testing suction, spotting failures, assessing previous work. Preparation requirements get explained clearly. Pricing based on what your walls genuinely need, not generic assumptions.

Repair process, cleanup, follow-up

Jobs get completed methodically — preparation stages, plaster application, finishing work. Dust sheets protect surroundings throughout. Thorough cleanup happens after. You receive specific advice about drying periods, emulsion misting, and when surfaces are ready for decorating.

Professional skimming services - perfect flat finishes ready to decorate.

Got a quick question?

Planning wall work means practical questions need answering — what preparation involves, realistic durations, when you can decorate. Clear information below.

How long does skimming a room take?

A typical room takes around a day on cooperative surfaces. Wall condition affects timing more than room size — extensive preparation needs stretch schedules significantly. Ceilings add time. Assessment provides realistic duration based on your specific surface condition.

Do my walls need stripping back before skimming?

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.

What's the difference between plastering and skimming?

Skimming applies thin finish layers over prepared existing surfaces. Full plastering includes base coat application, rendering, building thickness on bare walls. Typical home jobs involve skim finishing over existing plaster rather than plastering systems from scratch.

Can you skim over painted walls?

Depends on the paint situation. Thin matt emulsion takes skim after keying preparation. Thick coatings, gloss finishes, or silk paint prevent proper adhesion — usually needing removal or bonding agent application. Assessment identifies requirements for your specific surfaces.

How long before I can paint after skimming?

Standard skimming needs 2-4 days surface drying in well-ventilated rooms, though complete cure takes weeks. Mist coat application first — diluted matt emulsion sealing porous new plaster. Then proper decoration. Rushing causes paint problems.
