Professional Plasterers (Skimming) in Basildon, Essex & Surrounding Areas
Looking for expert plasterers in Basildon and nearby areas? We specialize in applying smooth, flawless finish plaster to new plasterboard, existing walls, and ceilings. Our goal is to prepare your surfaces perfectly for painting or wallpapering.
While “plastering” often covers a range of tasks—including boarding, repairing holes, and plastering—our focus is on skimming. Skimming means applying a thin, fine topcoat of plaster to create an even, smooth surface.
What is Skimming?
Skimming involves spreading a thin layer of plaster over a solid base such as plasterboard or existing plaster walls. Because this coat is delicate and too thin to stick directly to brick, we first prepare the surface by applying one or two coats of PVA adhesive. We wait for it to become tacky before applying the plaster.
Our skilled plasterers then carefully trowel the skim coat to produce a strong, smooth, and flawless finish. This finish offers a perfect base for painting or wallpapering and dramatically improves the look of your room.
Skimming Over Artex
If you have artex ceilings, we can prepare and re-skim them as long as the artex is solid and not too heavily textured. This process saves you from costly removal while giving your ceilings a fresh, smooth appearance.
