Plastering is a race against drying time — preparation decides whether you win or lose. Here’s our approach to skimming work throughout Concord.
We’ve opened up walls from Washington Galleries right through to Washington Village. 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. Concord walls become familiar.
Blown plaster that sounds hollow, old distemper that kills adhesion, suction differences between old and new surfaces — these problems sink skimming jobs. We identify them first throughout Concord, fixing foundations before applying finishes.
Most Concord properties are 1960s new town housing or modern estates with 2.4m to 2.6m (7.9ft – 8.5ft) ceilings. Working exclusively on this housing type builds specific knowledge — where walls tend to blow, how surfaces typically behave, what preparation delivers lasting results.
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.
They’ll ask about your walls — what’s on them, what state they’re in, how many rooms need work. This shapes the assessment visit, which gets arranged for a mutually convenient time to inspect surfaces thoroughly before providing detailed costs.
Wall inspection covers everything relevant — structural soundness, surface adhesion, previous repair quality, moisture levels. The plasterer explains preparation needs in plain terms. Pricing reflects what your walls actually require, not generic per-metre rates.
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.
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.
It depends on current wall condition. Well-bonded existing plaster takes skim coats directly after proper keying. Delaminated areas need stripping. Multiple thick coats may require removal. Assessment determines what preparation your specific walls actually need.
Skim coats are thin finish layers — 2-3mm typically — applied over existing surfaces to create smooth walls. Plastering covers heavier applications including base coats on masonry, render work, or building depth. Most domestic work involves skimming existing plaster rather than full replastering.
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.
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.
