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