Our skimming process in Bevere

Direct to the plasterer, no filtering

When you make contact, the plasterer responds personally — same tradesman who’ll assess your walls and complete the skimming throughout Bevere. Wall condition, surface preparation, realistic timelines — proper discussion from the start.

Questions asked, timing confirmed

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.

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

Skimming proceeds professionally — surfaces prepared correctly, plaster mixed fresh, coats applied evenly, finishing done at the right moment. Protection goes down throughout, cleanup happens after. Clear guidance covers drying periods, mist coat timing, and decoration readiness.

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 with reasonable walls takes around a day to complete. Surface condition affects timing more than room size — walls needing stripping, bonding, or extensive prep work add time. Ceiling skimming alongside walls adds half a day typically. Assessment provides accurate scheduling for your specific surfaces.

Do my walls need stripping back before skimming?

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.

What's the difference between plastering and skimming?

Skim coats are thin finish applications — usually 2-3mm — over existing prepared surfaces. Plastering covers broader scope including base coats on bare walls, render application, depth building. Most domestic jobs involve skimming rather than complete replastering from scratch.

Can you skim over painted walls?

Paint type and thickness matter. Light matt emulsion on sound plaster skims after proper keying. Heavy paint buildup, gloss finishes, or silk coatings prevent adequate bonding — typically requiring stripping or specialist treatment. Assessment determines your wall requirements.

How long before I can paint after skimming?

Drying times depend on coat thickness, room ventilation, and ambient temperature. Standard skimming typically dries within 2-4 days in well-ventilated rooms, though complete curing takes 2-3 weeks. Mist coat with diluted emulsion first — this seals the surface for proper paint adhesion. Rushing decoration risks paint failure.
