Skimming

Skimming is the name provided to a plastering method where a wall is plastered with a layer of thin coat.

It is usually applied to an existing plaster to smooth the surface area. It’s an extremely difficult task and shouldn’t be attempted by an amateur DIYer as the wall or ceiling might end up looking worse than previously!

The white layer of lime which is used to rough cement is called a skim

coat. The plasterer uses various methods to make the surface area smooth, and it might depend on the tradesman’s proficiency. Then the skim coat can be painted to make it look far more appealing.

So overall, skimming is a subset of plastering. They are both used to decorate structures and increase the durability of a wall, but skimming is done to update an old building whereas plastering is done to a new one.

Another difference between skim and plaster is that plaster surface areas are constantly rough whereas a skimmed surface area is smooth.

Testimonial

I can’t not recommend Craig’s work enough! He’s a friendly reasonable priced plasterer that has literally gone out of his way to ensure we can continue to complete our extension. His quality provides a great finish and he’s so neat and tidy. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Craig we really appreciate it!

- Debbie Chapman – Manchester

Completed my lounge ceiling by removing old plaster coving, without damaging my wallpaper (saving me from redecoration) boarding and plastering and new coving. Lovely job and looks like glass as so smooth. We will use all the time in future. Good to see you rockin’ the stilts!

- Christine Price – Manchester

Outstanding plastering service provided by Craig today. Looked like a two-day job but finished in one. Thoroughly exceeded my expectations. Helped me troubleshoot a couple of other DIY problems. House was left clean & tidy. And he’s a nice guy too! Thank you Craig 🙏
