Our Process

Surface Preparation

We clean and inspect your walls or ceilings to remove loose materials, dust, or contaminants. Any damaged plaster is repaired to ensure a solid foundation before skimming.

Material Application

Our plasterers apply a fine skim coat using high-grade plaster, spreading it evenly with expert precision. For older surfaces, we use bonding agents to ensure excellent adhesion and crack resistance.

Smoothing and Levelling

Each layer is carefully levelled and polished before it begins to set. This step ensures a consistent texture that’s perfectly ready for painting or wallpapering.

Finishing Touches

Once cured, we check for any inconsistencies and polish the surface to achieve a seamless finish. The result is a refined, professional appearance that enhances the comfort and value of your interiors.

Why Quality Skim Coating Matters

Skim coating and re-skimming don’t just refresh a wall, they transform it. Properly applied, they improve surface strength, prevent future cracking, and provide the flawless base every interior finish needs.

At Carey Plastering, our commitment to precision means every project meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and longevity.
