Surface preparation
The existing wall or ceiling needs to be suitable for skimming. Preparation depends on its condition and the type of finish required.
Plastering and Skimming in Greenford
Smooth, freshly skimmed walls made a difference throughout this Greenford flat refurbishment. The plastering covered several rooms, with the aim of achieving a consistent finish ready for decorating.
WALL AND CEILING FINISHES
A Consistent Finish Across the Rooms
Skimming more than one room means paying attention to how the plaster finish looks from one space to the next. In this Greenford flat, the work formed part of a wider refurbishment, helping bring the interior walls to a clean, even finish.
Good plastering is about more than a smooth surface in the middle of a wall. Corners, edges, reveals and the junctions between walls and ceilings all need care so the finish looks tidy once the rooms are painted.

What Makes a Good Plaster Finish?
Corners and edges
Neat work around corners, doorways and ceiling lines helps create a consistent appearance when the room is decorated.
Allowing plaster to dry
Fresh plaster needs sufficient drying time before painting. The timing varies with ventilation, temperature and plaster thickness.
