Service
Skimming can refresh a tired wall or ceiling when the existing base is stable. Nova Coat checks the surface, prepares it properly and applies a smooth finish ready for paint.

A skim coat can improve a surface that is firm but uneven, marked or dated. Cracks, loose patches and previous repairs are assessed first; areas that have failed may need more than a skim.
Preparation matters. The room, adjoining surfaces and floor are protected, and the work is planned around the condition of the wall and the chosen finish.
Fresh plaster changes colour as it dries. The time varies with the room and the application, so painting is planned only when the surface is ready and the paint instructions allow it.
Questions
It depends on the condition and age of the coating. Textured finishes are not sanded or disturbed until their safety has been checked. The surface is assessed before a suitable plastering method is discussed.
Drying varies with thickness, the room, airflow and the surface behind the plaster. The finish is checked and the paint maker’s preparation guidance is followed rather than promising a fixed time.
