Years of Hands On Experience

We’ve opened up walls from Brymbo Steelworks site right through to Industrial heritage.

Wrexham Town Centre walls become familiar.

Extension walls joining original walls, old ceilings meeting new plasterboard, repairs that must disappear into existing finishes — transitions need careful handling. Seamless results across Wrexham Town Centre come from managing where different surfaces meet.

We Understand the Local Housing Stock

Years working on this exact property mix means preparation becomes intuitive — recognising conditions that cause problems and addressing them automatically.

Our skimming process in Wrexham Town Centre

Direct to the plasterer, no filtering

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.

Questions asked, timing confirmed

They’ll ask about existing conditions — wall types, current finishes, room layouts, any visible problems. This information shapes the site visit, which gets scheduled for convenient timing to properly assess preparation needs and provide clear pricing.

What they check, how long

Assessment means properly reading your walls — tapping for hollow sections, checking suction rates, identifying previous repairs, spotting potential problems. The plasterer explains what preparation’s needed and why. You get clear pricing based on actual surface condition, not guesswork from photos.

Repair process, cleanup, follow-up

Work proceeds methodically — surface preparation, fresh plaster mixing, controlled application, skilled finishing. Dust sheets protect belongings throughout. Complete cleanup happens after. You’ll understand drying times, mist coat requirements, and decoration scheduling.

Got a quick question?

Walls and plastering raise plenty of questions — how long it takes, what preparation involves, when you can paint. Here’s the straight answers to what most people ask about skimming.

How long does skimming a room take?

Duration depends on what the walls need, not just room dimensions. Sound surfaces needing simple re-skimming complete faster than blown plaster requiring strip-back. Standard bedroom typically takes a day on good walls, longer with preparation complications. You’ll receive realistic timing after surface inspection.

Do my walls need stripping back before skimming?

Not necessarily — wall condition dictates approach. Solid existing plaster skims over after proper preparation. Blown sections need stripping. Heavy buildup from previous work may require removal. Assessment identifies what each wall actually needs.

What's the difference between plastering and skimming?

Skimming applies thin finish layers over prepared surfaces — creating smooth walls from existing plaster. Full plastering includes base coat application on masonry, rendering, or building thickness. Typical home re-finishing means skim coats over what exists already.

Can you skim over painted walls?

Depends on the paint situation. Thin matt emulsion takes skim after keying preparation. Thick coatings, gloss finishes, or silk paint prevent proper adhesion — usually needing removal or bonding agent application. Assessment identifies requirements for your specific surfaces.

How long before I can paint after skimming?

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.
