Skimming is the term used when the finish top coat of plaster is applied to walls and ceilings that already have a base to apply it to. Here at DDP Carlisle we are specialists in skimming, along with all plastering work and have a wealth of experience ensuring the perfect job each time.
Skimming is just a thin layer of fine smooth plaster which is too thin and fragile to be applied directly to brick by itself. A base for the skim plaster to be applied to is therefore needed which can either be plasterboard, solid plaster or existing old plastered walls.
