Achieving a Seamless Finish with Internal Skimming
Skimming is the final stage of the plastering process, involving a thin 2-3mm coat of high-quality finish plaster. This technique is essential for masking imperfections, covering dated Artex ceilings, or refreshing tired walls. Our experts use premium multi-finish plaster and professional-grade trowels to achieve a seamless, mirror-like surface that requires minimal preparation before decorating.In older Lancashire properties, we often encounter blown plaster—where the original material has pulled away from the masonry. We specialise in identifying these weak points, stripping back failing material, and applying a new bonding coat to ensure structural integrity. We also manage suction control using high-quality bonding agents to prevent the plaster from drying too quickly and cracking, ensuring a long-lasting result.

Who We Are
Modern Dry Lining and Plasterboarding Solutions
For new builds, extensions, and substantial renovations, dry lining offers a fast and efficient alternative to traditional wet plastering. We utilise the dot and dab method, using high-strength adhesive to secure plasterboards directly to masonry walls. This technique not only speeds up the construction process but also allows for the integration of thermal laminate boards to improve your home's energy efficiency.Thermal Efficiency: Upgrade your insulation to meet Part L Building Regulations.Moisture Control: We use moisture-resistant boards in bathrooms and kitchens to prevent damp issues.Precision Finish: Every joint is reinforced with scrim tape to prevent future movement and map cracking.

Answers to common questions about our Plastering And Skimming in Blackburn
How long does it take for new plaster to dry before I can paint?
In most Lancashire homes, a skim coat takes about 3 to 5 days to dry completely. However, if we have done a full re-plaster on top of new bonding or plasterboard, it might take a bit longer. You will know it is ready when the dark pink patches have turned into a uniform light pink or greyish colour. It is always best to use a 'mist coat' (thinned down paint) as your first layer.
Can you plaster over my old Artex ceilings?
Yes, this is one of our most popular requests in places like Darwen and Burnley. As long as the Artex is secure and not flaking off, we can usually 'skim' over it. We first apply a bonding agent to create a key, then apply two coats of finishing plaster to give you a perfectly flat, modern ceiling.
What is the difference between plastering and skimming?
Plastering is the general term for the whole trade. Skimming is specifically the final stage where we apply a thin, smooth layer of plaster over an existing surface or new plasterboards. If your walls are basically sound but just look a bit rough, a skim is often all you need to make them look new again.
Do you handle damp walls before plastering?
If we find signs of damp during our survey, we will let you know immediately. Plastering over wet walls is a waste of your money as it will just peel off. We can often help identify the source of the leak—whether it is a roof issue or a guttering problem—and fix that before we start the internal work.
