“We recently had our house painted and were extremely happy with the results. Martin and his team were professional and reliable, always showing up on time for appointments. The finish throughout the house was excellent, with great attention to detail and a really high standard of workmanship. They were also respectful of our home, kept everything tidy, and communicated well throughout the process. The job was completed a day earlier than agreed which we were really impressed with. We highly recommend Martin and his team to anyone looking for skilled and trustworthy decorators.”

Can you skim over old plaster?

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 North Cheam to confirm whether skimming is doable for your home.
Can you paint directly onto skimmed plaster?
