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
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!
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!
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 🙏
Fantastic plastering ( best we have ever had done !) Craig turned up on time every day , kept in touch and cleared up really well !! We were expecting chaos and it really wasn’t thanks to Craig ! Highly recommended!!
