SKIMMING & RENOVATION SERVICE
Smooth, flawless walls and ceilings are the foundation of any beautifully finished home. Over time, cracks, dents, or uneven textures can appear — leaving surfaces looking tired and neglected. At ULTIMATE RENOVATIONS, we specialise in skimming and surface renovation services across London, Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, and throughout the UK, helping homeowners restore their interiors to a clean, modern, and professional standard.
Our expert plasterers and decorators take pride in transforming even the most uneven walls into perfectly smooth canvases, ready for painting, wallpapering, or any decorative finish. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or preparing an entire property for renovation, our skimming service ensures a high-quality, long-lasting result that completely changes the look and feel of your space.
WHAT IS SKIMMING AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Skimming is the process of applying a thin layer of finishing plaster over existing walls or ceilings to create a smooth, uniform surface. It’s ideal for covering imperfections, repairing damage, or updating old plasterwork — and it’s one of the most effective ways to give your home a fresh new start without major structural work.
At ULTIMATE RENOVATIONS, we go beyond basic plastering. Our team prepares the surface meticulously, applies top-grade finishing plaster, and ensures every inch is even, polished, and ready for decoration. The result? Walls that look brand new and feel perfectly smooth to the touch.
Our services include:
Wall & Ceiling Skimming: Restoring tired surfaces to perfect condition for a seamless look.
Plaster Repairs & Resurfacing: Fixing cracks, dents, and old plaster issues before skimming for a lasting finish.
New Build & Extension Plastering: Providing smooth surfaces in new homes and additions, ready for painting.
Decorative Finishing & Painting: We also offer full decorating services — so your newly skimmed walls are completed to perfection.
We use only premium materials and proven techniques to guarantee a strong bond, fast drying times, and a smooth, even texture every time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. HOW LONG DOES SKIMMING TAKE?
It depends on the size of the area. A single room can typically be skimmed in 1 to 2 days, while full-house projects may take a week or more. We always provide a clear schedule before work begins and keep you informed throughout.
2. CAN YOU SKIM OVER OLD PAINT OR PLASTER?
Yes, in most cases we can. Our team will assess your walls and prepare them properly by cleaning, sealing, or applying a bonding agent to ensure the new plaster adheres perfectly and lasts for years.
3. HOW LONG BEFORE I CAN PAINT AFTER SKIMMING?
We recommend allowing the skimmed surface to dry naturally for around 5 to 7 days, depending on ventilation and temperature. Once the plaster has turned a light, even pink colour, it’s ready to be painted or decorated.
