Internal Plastering Skimming in Steyning, West Sussex

Most of our customers in the BN44 area come to us because they want that perfectly flat, modern look. That’s where skimming comes in. By applying a thin, precise coat of high-quality multi-finish plaster over your existing walls or new plasterboard, we create a surface that’s ready for the rollers. It’s the ultimate way to refresh a room without the need for thick lining paper or endless sanding.We don’t just slap the plaster on, either. We’re experts at suction control—ensuring the wall is prepared correctly so the plaster doesn’t dry too fast and crack. We use scrim tape to reinforce joints and high-grade angle beads to ensure every corner in your home is crisp and straight. The result? A durable, smooth surface that genuinely transforms the feel of your interior space.

Let’s be honest—nothing dates a home quite like a heavy Artex ceiling. If you’re tired of looking at those old-fashioned swirls, we have the perfect solution.
