Anyone can spread plaster — fewer can leave it properly flat. Here’s what separates our skimming work from average results across Worsley.
Experience throughout Worsley — The Lowry, IWM North, Peel Park — reveals patterns invisible to outsiders. Certain streets always have damp. Specific builders always used weak mixes. Some estates got cheap materials throughout. That knowledge guides preparation.
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 Worsley. Each surface type needs different preparation, and getting that wrong ruins everything that follows.
Local housing comprises mainly post-war housing and inter-war semis, 2.4m to 2.5m (7.9ft – 8.2ft) ceiling heights. Familiarity with these exact property types means recognising wall conditions quickly and applying proven preparation approaches rather than guessing.
When you get in touch, you’re talking to the plasterer directly — not a call centre reading prompts. Wall assessment, preparation planning, finishing standards — everything gets discussed with the person who’ll actually transform your surfaces.
Conversation covers current wall condition, rooms requiring attention, and any concerns about existing surfaces. Assessment timing gets agreed based on mutual availability — no rushed phone quotes, just proper site evaluation before pricing.
Assessment means examining walls properly — testing adhesion, checking suction, spotting blown areas, assessing previous plaster quality. Clear explanation of preparation needs follows. Pricing reflects genuine surface requirements, not guesses from photographs.
Plastering happens systematically — correct preparation, even application, timely finishing. Work areas get protected properly, and thorough cleanup occurs after. Clear information covers drying periods, when to apply mist coats, and how soon decoration can follow.
The usual skimming queries — how walls get prepared, how long it takes, when paint goes on. Straightforward answers, no jargon.
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.
Existing surface quality determines preparation. Well-bonded plaster takes skim coats directly after keying. Problem areas — hollow sections, loose coats, thick buildup — need stripping first. Assessment reveals genuine requirements rather than guessing.
Skim finishing applies thin coats — 2-3mm typically — over existing plaster to create smooth walls. Plastering encompasses heavier applications: base coats, render work, building depth. Most domestic work involves skimming existing surfaces rather than full replastering systems.
It varies with paint condition. Thin matt emulsion over sound plaster takes skim after proper keying. Heavy coatings, gloss finishes, or silk paint cause bonding problems — usually needing stripping or adhesion treatment. Assessment reveals what preparation your walls require.
Drying time depends on thickness, ventilation, and temperature. Surface usually ready for mist coating within 2-4 days, complete curing takes longer. Diluted emulsion first seals new plaster properly before full painting. Decorating too early causes problems.
