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 Ackworth Moor Top.

Skimming jobs raise predictable questions — wall preparation, completion timelines, drying requirements. Here’s the honest information you need.
Room timing varies with surface requirements. Straightforward re-skimming in a standard bedroom completes in a day. Add preparation complications, problem areas, or ceiling work, and schedules extend. Accurate timing follows from proper wall inspection.
Existing surface quality determines approach. Firmly bonded plaster skims over after keying. Blown areas, delaminated coats, or excessive previous layers need stripping. Assessment identifies which preparation each wall section requires.
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.
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.
Standard skimming needs 2-4 days surface drying in well-ventilated rooms, though complete cure takes weeks. Mist coat application first — diluted matt emulsion sealing porous new plaster. Then proper decoration. Rushing causes paint problems.
