PLASTERING VS SKIMMING

Plastering vs Skimming — What’s Best for You?

Choosing between plastering and skimming depends on the condition of your existing walls and ceilings. If the surface is rough, uneven, or badly damaged, full plastering is usually the best option to rebuild a solid, smooth base. If the surface is already in decent shape but needs refreshing, skimming applies a thin layer of plaster to create a flawless finish without the need for a complete rebuild. After a quick survey, we’ll recommend the best and most cost-effective approach for your project.

MODERNISE YOUR PROPERTY

Skimming Over Artex

If you’ve got outdated artex ceilings or walls, skimming is a fast and effective way to modernise your space. We apply a smooth layer of plaster directly over the textured surface, covering the patterns and leaving a clean, flat finish ready for painting. It’s a cost-effective alternative to removing artex completely, with minimal disruption and great results.
