The foundation for good decoration is properly skimmed walls. Professional plastering throughout Curzon Park that creates flat surfaces, even coverage, and finishes built to last.
Getting walls skimmed shouldn’t involve a research project. Posting online, comparing reviews, fielding calls from multiple tradesmen — it’s exhausting before anyone’s even picked up a trowel. Direct access to a proven plasterer simplifies everything.

Expert wall skimming creates lasting smooth finishes that transform tired rooms into fresh, modern spaces. Damaged plaster, rough render, and patchy surfaces respond to professional re-skimming that delivers flat, even walls throughout. Quality preparation, skilled application, and attention to finishing details ensure results that look right, last well, and make decorating simple.
Flawless ceiling plastering requires specialist overhead skills developed through years of professional experience. Textured surfaces, water damage, and dated finishes respond to expert skimming that creates smooth, even ceilings throughout. Proper technique ensures lasting results — no sagging, no cracking, no visible joins — just flat surfaces that transform how rooms look.
Seamless plaster patching fixes visible damage through skilled preparation and blending technique. Holes, dents, cracks, and damaged sections get properly filled and skim coated to match surrounding walls. Professional feathering ensures invisible edges — repairs that paint over perfectly without showing through any decorative finish.
Finishing new plasterboard requires specialist technique that creates invisible joints and smooth surfaces. Extensions, conversions, and renovation projects need professional taping and skim coating to transform raw boards into decoration-ready walls.

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 Curzon Park.
Years covering Curzon Park from Airbus Factory through Broughton Shopping Park to Chester Road 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.
New plasterboard drinks moisture unevenly, old lime plaster grabs too fast, painted surfaces reject bonding — preparation solves each problem differently. Skimming success across Curzon Park starts with understanding what you’re coating.
Most Curzon Park properties are modern detached houses or semi-detached houses 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.
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.
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.
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.
Completion time varies with surface condition rather than room size alone. Average bedroom on decent plaster takes a day. Walls requiring stripping, bonding, or substantial prep work take longer. Ceiling inclusion adds time. Assessment provides realistic scheduling for your particular surfaces.
Surface condition governs preparation requirements. Well-bonded existing plaster takes skim coats directly. Blown sections need removal. Thick previous coats sometimes require stripping. Assessment identifies what your walls actually need rather than assuming worst-case scenarios.
Skim finishing means thin coats — 2-3mm — applied to create smooth surfaces over existing plaster. Full plastering involves heavier work: base coats on brick, render layers, or building thickness where needed. Most domestic jobs involve skimming existing surfaces rather than complete replastering.
Some painted walls skim over, others need work first. Light matt emulsion on sound plaster takes skim after keying. Thick paint, gloss finishes, or silk coatings create adhesion problems — often needing removal or bonding preparation. Assessment determines approach.
Standard skimming dries surface-ready in 2-4 days typically, though full cure extends weeks. Mist coat application first — watered-down matt emulsion sealing porous surfaces — before proper decoration. Insufficient drying causes paint failures.
