Our Skimming Process in Bodiam
- 1
Survey the surface and prep: dust down, seal porous patches, and protect flooring and fittings
- 2
Mix plaster to the correct consistency for the substrate
- 3
Apply the first coat evenly across the wall or ceiling
- 4
Apply a second thin coat while the first is still workable, then trowel to a smooth, flat finish
- 5
Final polish pass with water and trowel once the plaster has taken up, leaving a hard, paint-ready surface
Skimming in Bodiam FAQs
A skim coat resets the visible surface to new condition, but if cracks are caused by structural movement rather than surface ageing, the underlying cause should be checked first. Most cosmetic cracking in older plaster is resolved permanently by a full skim.
