FAQ

skimming_Plastering_Exeter

What's the difference between skimming and plastering?

Skimming is a part of plastering work that involves applying a thin layer of coat on the wall after the plastering is done. Plastering is done to a new building, whereas skimming helps upgrade an old building. There is generally a smoother finish on a skimmed surface than on a plastered surface.

How long does it take to skim a wall?

It depends on the size of the area being skimmed. A small room might take just a couple of hours, whereas a large house could take several days.

Can I skip the skimming process if my walls already look good?

Yes, but it may not be as effective as skimming. The skim coat needs to be applied before the final coat of plaster so that it doesn’t affect the colour of the plaster.

Can I apply skim coats myself?

No, you should always leave the skimming to a trained expert. It is a skill that takes years to master.

Do I have to remove the existing wallpaper before skimming?

Yes, you must remove any wallpaper before skimming. This is because the skim coat can cause damage to the paper.

What is skimming material?

Drywall joint compound (also known as mud) is used as skimming material to achieve a glass-like finish on walls.

What other services do you provide?

In addition to providing rendering and skimming, we also perform a wide range of tasks including plastering services, artexing, coving, cornicing, pebble-dashing, applying tyrolean, joinery, glazing, tiling service, and more.
