Professional wall skimming delivers the smooth finish that transforms how rooms look and feel. Rough plaster, textured surfaces, and patchy walls disappear beneath expertly applied skim coats, creating perfect bases for paint or wallpaper. Experienced plasterers prepare surfaces properly, apply consistent coverage, and finish to high standards — leaving walls flat, smooth, and ready for whatever decorative finish you choose.
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.
Professional plaster patching restores damaged sections to original condition without disrupting entire walls. Holes, cracks, and impact damage get filled, prepared, and skim coated to match surrounding surfaces exactly. Skilled blending and feathering ensure repairs become invisible — cost-effective fixes that deliver seamless results ready for any decorative finish.
Quality plasterboard finishing completes construction projects with smooth, decoration-ready surfaces throughout.

The finish you get depends entirely on who holds the trowel. Here’s the honest breakdown of how we approach skimming work throughout Eastleigh Town Centre.
We’ve opened up walls from The Swan Centre right through to The Point theatre. 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. Eastleigh Town Centre walls become familiar.
Walls stripped back to brick, ceilings with Artex underneath, patch repairs that need blending, new plasterboard waiting for its first coat — we handle the full range across Eastleigh Town Centre. Each surface type needs different preparation, and getting that wrong ruins everything that follows.
Housing across Eastleigh Town Centre consists largely of victorian terraced houses and modern flats with 2.4m to 2.8m (7.9ft – 9.2ft) ceilings. Specialising in this local stock builds practical expertise — understanding typical wall conditions, common issues, and effective solutions for these specific properties.
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.
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 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.
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.
Before plastering starts, most people want the same information — preparation, timelines, decoration timing. Here’s the clear, simple detail.
Timing depends on room size, surface condition, and preparation needs. A standard bedroom with sound walls typically takes one day — preparation morning, first coat midday, second coat afternoon. Rooms needing extensive prep work or multiple problem areas take longer. Ceilings add time. You’ll get accurate duration estimates after wall assessment.
Not necessarily — existing condition dictates preparation. Sound plaster gets keyed and coated over. Blown sections need removing before re-coating. Heavy buildup from previous plastering might need stripping. Assessment identifies genuine requirements rather than assuming worst-case.
Skimming means applying thin finish coats over existing plaster. Full plastering involves heavier work — base coats on brick or block, render layers, building depth where needed. Typical home work involves re-skimming surfaces rather than starting from bare masonry.
Paint type affects adhesion significantly. Light matt emulsion can receive skim after surface keying. Gloss finishes, silk coatings, or thick paint layers prevent proper bonding — typically requiring removal or specialist preparation. Assessment determines the right approach for your surfaces.
Allow surfaces to dry properly before painting — 2-4 days minimum in ventilated rooms, though complete curing takes 2-3 weeks. Apply mist coat first with watered-down emulsion. Early decoration causes peeling and blistering issues.
