Re-skimming walls creates the perfect foundation for any decorative finish you’re planning.

The trowel marks that disappear wet can reappear under paint. Here’s why our finishing technique creates surfaces that stay flat across Wallbrook.
Properties around All Saints Church were mostly built pre-war — lime plaster, lath ceilings, solid walls. Near Brierley Hill Bus Depot the fifties estates dominate. Toward Brierley Hill Common it’s newer construction. Each era across Wallbrook needs different preparation approaches.
Victorian solid walls with three previous skim coats, 1970s Artex hiding who-knows-what, plasterboard fitted yesterday — all need different approaches. Assessment across Wallbrook determines preparation, preparation determines finish quality.
Housing across Wallbrook consists largely of victorian houses and post-war housing with 2.4m to 2.6m (7.9ft – 8.5ft) ceilings. Specialising in this local stock builds practical expertise — understanding typical wall conditions, common issues, and effective solutions for these specific properties.
Calls and forms go straight to your area’s tradesman — no filtering through people who’ve never held a trowel. You get honest conversation about wall types, preparation needs, and what quality skimming actually requires.
First conversation gathers essentials — surface condition, work scope, access requirements, timing preferences. Assessment gets arranged for mutually suitable timing, allowing proper wall inspection and accurate quotation before any commitment.
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.
Skimming follows correct sequence — preparation, coating, finishing. Work areas receive adequate protection throughout. Thorough tidying happens after completion. Clear guidance addresses drying stages, mist coat timing, and realistic decoration readiness timelines.
Before booking skimming work, most people want to know the same things — preparation, timing, costs, drying. Here’s the honest detail on what to expect.
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.
It varies with condition. Sound plaster that’s firmly attached receives skim over existing surfaces. Blown areas need removing. Multiple previous coats might require stripping. Assessment determines what preparation your walls specifically require.
Skimming applies thin finish layers over prepared surfaces — creating smooth walls from existing plaster. Full plastering includes base coat application on masonry, rendering, or building thickness. Typical home re-finishing means skim coats over what exists already.
Paint condition affects preparation significantly. Matt emulsion over good plaster takes skim after proper keying. Gloss finishes, silk coatings, or thick paint layers prevent adequate adhesion — typically requiring removal or bonding treatment. Assessment determines your needs.
Drying varies with conditions. Surface typically ready for mist coating within 2-4 days, full curing extends longer. New plaster needs diluted emulsion first — sealing porous surfaces before proper paint application. Insufficient drying causes failures.
