“We have used several contractors over the years for plastering / rendering, and this company is definitely the best we have worked with. We only work this company now for plastering and rendering, the standard of workmanship is of a high standard, and the site is always left clean and tidy upon completion of a project. We would highly recommend.”

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.

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 Radlett 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.
