Plastering & Skimming

This is the application of a finishing plaster known in the trade as a ‘two coat skim’ over walls & ceilings. The result is a smooth surface which is ready for painting or papering.
Tanking & Waterproof Render

Tanking is the application of a continuous water resistant barrier coating on the inside of an existing building or applied to the external surfaces of a property to prevent water ingression.
Slabbing / Dry Lining / Plasterboard

This term relates to the securing of plasterboards over stud walls, brickwork & ceilings using screws on timber or adhesive on masonry(Dot + Dab). Once drylined the area can be skimmed. Dry lining uses plasterboard fixed to the walls & is therefore a relatively dry process, which can be decorated shortly after completion. Dry lining can be taped & jointed using special paper tape or it can be skim coated.
Rendering

This is the application of a sand & cement mix to exposed brickwork which offers a good impermeable surface. Internally, outward facing walls are rendered, internal facing walls are scratched, floated and skimmed. Rendering a wall consists of the application of two layers, firstly the scratch coat which offers the second layer a flat & even surface & also a good key. The second coat is rubbed down to complete a quality finished surface.
