Shadbolt Plastering provides professional skimming services in Balham (SW12). Balham and the surrounding areas of Clapham South and Tooting Bec are covered by our plastering team.
Skimming is the application of a thin finish coat of plaster over an existing surface — ideal for rooms with tired, rough, or cracked plaster that doesn't need a full re-plaster. The result is a flat, smooth wall ready for decoration. We skim single rooms, whole houses, and new plasterboard partitions.
