Plastering and skimming in Igualada, wall by wall
In areas such as Centre, El Rec and Sant Agustí, where winters are colder, outside walls often show condensation and mould in the corners. Before plastering we consider an insulated lining or a more breathable render, then skim the wall ready for paint.
In homes across areas such as Fàtima, Montserrat and Set Camins we start by tapping every wall, marking hollow plaster and removing it back to a sound background. On brick, concrete or old gypsum we apply a bonding coat so the new layer grips and does not come away later.
A site manager organises the job; we cover floors and furniture and, when finished, take away bags, rubble and sanding dust. We work in the surrounding areas too: Òdena, Vilanova del Camí and Santa Margarida de Montbui.

We work in Igualada in areas such as Centre, El Rec, Sant Agustí, Fàtima, Montserrat, Set Camins, Sant Crist and Pla de la Massa, and also nearby: Òdena, Vilanova del Camí and Santa Margarida de Montbui.
02What is the difference between plastering and skimming?
Plastering is a coat of gypsum that corrects out-of-plumb walls and leaves brick or old plaster flat. Skimming is a thin coat that removes roughness from a wall that is already flat.
03When can a freshly plastered wall be painted?
Once the plaster is completely dry, which depends on its thickness, ventilation and the time of year. Before painting we apply a sealer so the paint takes evenly across the surface.
04Can a wall with cracks be skimmed?
Yes, but first we open up and fill the cracks and, if they are movement cracks, we embed mesh so they do not show through again.
