“Great experience all round. Alex, Lotte and the team were skilled, knowledgeable, polite and hard working. We had old pebble dashing replaced with cladding, a stud wall removed, loft insulation and boarding installed and some general repairs. the team handled it all brilliantly and we'll 100% be coming back when we have more work. Highly recommended.”

What does skimming mean in plastering?
Skimming is the process of applying a thin layer of finishing plaster over existing walls or ceilings to create a smooth surface.
It’s often used to cover cracks, artex or uneven plaster before decorating.

Expect to pay between £376 and £685 , with an average cost of £505.
That said, the exact price you’ll pay for skimming depends on wall size, condition, and your location.
That’s why we always recommend contacting skimming services directly to an exact quote.
Tip: Check out our skimming cost guide for a full rundown on prices.
Can you skim over old plaster?
Yes, skimming over old plaster is common – as long as the surface is stable and properly prepared.
Loose plaster, damp or deep cracks may need repairs before skimming begins.
Tip: Thinking about taking on the job yourself? Our handy how-to guide to skimming takes you through the process.
How do I know if my walls need skimming?
You may need skimming if your walls have:
- Cracks or flaking plaster
- Uneven or patchy surfaces
- Old artex or textured finishes
- Visible repairs that show through paint
Contact a plasterer covering Rye to confirm whether skimming is doable for your home.
Can you paint directly onto skimmed plaster?
Yes, you can paint directly onto skimmed plaster, but only after it has fully dried.
New skimmed plaster should be left to dry, then sealed with a mist coat before applying standard paint.
