Jobs happen professionally — thorough prep, even application, timely finishing work. Furniture and floors get protected properly, and comprehensive cleanup follows. You receive specific advice about drying periods, mist coating, and when full decorating can start.
People booking skimming want practical details — what’s involved, how long it takes, what happens after. Straight answers here, kept simple.
A day covers most bedroom skimming when surfaces behave. Walls requiring bonding, extensive repairs, or previous coat removal add significant time. Ceilings alongside walls extend schedules. You’ll receive realistic duration estimates after wall assessment.
Some walls skim over existing surfaces, others need stripping — condition determines approach. Solid, well-attached plaster just needs keying. Blown areas, failed coats, or excessive thickness require removal. Assessment identifies what’s needed 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.
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 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.
