Lumpy walls, cracks that keep coming back, or old plaster that sounds hollow when you tap it: a fresh coat transforms a room. Most walls only need a skim. If the old plaster is loose or crumbling, we’ll strip it back and start again so the new finish lasts.
How a skimming day runs
- Furniture covered, floors protected, sockets and switches loosened.
- Cracks taped, corners beaded and the wall sealed so the skim doesn’t dry too fast.
- Two thin coats, trowelled up to a smooth, flat finish.
- Everything cleaned up, with a note on drying times and how to paint it.
