Walls that take paint properly start with proper skimming. Flat, smooth finishes across Tremeirchion — preparation done right, coats applied evenly, surfaces ready for whatever decoration you’re planning.

Expert wall skimming creates lasting smooth finishes that transform tired rooms into fresh, modern spaces.

Anyone can spread plaster — fewer can leave it properly flat. Here’s what separates our skimming work from average results across Tremeirchion.
Plastering from Chapel Allt Goch through Allt Goch mountain road to Allt Goch Cross builds understanding of what Tremeirchion walls actually contain. Old lime that’s gone powdery, hard gypsum that’s cracked with movement, board that’s absorbed moisture — recognising conditions fast comes from local repetition.
Old lime plaster, modern gypsum, fresh plasterboard, patched areas mixing all three — each responds differently to skim coats. Experience across Tremeirchion properties means recognising what we’re working on and adjusting technique accordingly.
Most Tremeirchion homes are stone cottages or rural properties with 2.3m to 2.6m (7.5ft – 8.5ft) ceilings. Working continuously on these property types develops pattern recognition — spotting preparation requirements quickly based on accumulated experience.
Your call goes straight to the local tradesman covering Tremeirchion — someone who can discuss existing wall types, explain preparation options, and give honest expectations about what’s needed for smooth, lasting finishes.
They’ll ask practical questions — what’s on the walls now, how many rooms, any known problems. Assessment timing gets arranged based on availability, ensuring proper site evaluation before providing detailed quotations.
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.
Jobs proceed methodically — surface prep, plaster application, skilled finishing. Protection covers surrounding areas throughout work. Complete tidying follows. You receive practical guidance about drying times, emulsion misting requirements, and decoration scheduling.
Before plastering starts, most people want the same information — preparation, timelines, decoration timing. Here’s the clear, simple detail.
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.
Depends on the paint and what’s beneath. Thin matt emulsion over good plaster skims after proper keying preparation. Thick paint layers, gloss finishes, or silk coatings prevent proper adhesion — usually needing removal or bonding treatment. Assessment determines requirements for your surfaces.
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.
