Internal Plastering Skimming in Lewes, East Sussex

What exactly is skimming? Think of it as the final, delicate layer that turns a rough wall into a masterpiece. We apply a thin coat of high-quality multi-finish plaster over your existing walls or brand-new plasterboard. Why bother? Because it eliminates the need for thick lining paper or hours of soul-destroying sanding. Most homeowners we speak to in East Sussex are looking for that crisp, modern look that only a professional skim can provide. We use scrim tape on every joint to prevent those annoying hairline cracks from reappearing, and we’re experts at suction control—using PVA or specialist primers so the plaster dries at just the right speed for a durable bond.

Is your living room still sporting those 1980s textured Artex ceilings? You’re certainly not alone. While it was popular once, most people today find it dated and difficult to clean. We specialise in making those ceilings flat again. Often, the best route is 'over-boarding'—fixing new plasterboard directly over the old ceiling before skimming it. It’s cleaner, safer, and gives you a brand-new surface without the mess of a full rip-out. If you've noticed 'blown' plaster—that hollow sound when you tap a wall—or if a leak has left your ceiling sagging, we can handle the repairs. From minor patch fixes to full room renovations, we’ll make the damage look like it was never there.

Once the job is done, we tidy up properly, leaving you with nothing but smooth walls and a space that's ready for decorating.
