When do walls need plastering or skimming?

  • Wavy walls or bumps
  • Hollow or crumbling plaster
  • Unfinished cable chases
  • Bare brick after a renovation

What plastering and skimming include

  • Checking the substrate

    We tap the walls to find hollow plaster and remove it back to a sound surface.

  • Bonding coat

    A bonding primer on brick, concrete or old plaster.

  • Gypsum plastering

    A screeded coat of plaster to leave the wall flat and plumb.

  • Screeds and angle beads

    Beads on corners and screeds so the edges come out straight.

  • Fine skim coat

    Finishing plaster sanded and checked under raking light, with no waves or marks.

  • Ready for decorating

    A final sealer so the wall is ready for paint or wallpaper.

Plastered walls in Roses: typical condition and our approach

On estates and in areas such as Centre, L'Eixample and Quatre Camins many holiday houses are being converted for year-round living, with walls moved and chases everywhere. We plaster the new sections and skim the old ones so the whole house has the same finish.

After rewiring or new plumbing, which is common in areas such as Santa Margarida and Salatar, we fill the chases with gypsum, bed mesh over movement cracks and skim the entire wall, not just the patch, so nothing shows through the paint.

We come to see the walls, tap them with you and hand over a detailed written quote, wall by wall. We also plaster and skim in nearby areas: Castelló d'Empúries, Palau-saverdera and Cadaqués.

Frequently asked questions

01

Wall plastering and skimming in Roses: which areas do you cover?

We work in Roses in areas such as Centre, L'Eixample, Quatre Camins, La Ciutadella, Santa Margarida, Salatar, Mas Oliva and La Garriga, and also nearby: Castelló d'Empúries, Palau-saverdera and Cadaqués.

02

What 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.

03

When 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.

04

Can 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.
