What Is Plaster Skimming?

Plaster skimming is the process of applying a thin layer of finishing plaster to walls or ceilings. This final layer smooths out imperfections, cracks, and uneven surfaces, creating a seamless surface ready for painting or wallpapering. It’s essential for both new builds and older properties where walls need refreshing or repairing.
