Finish Plaster & Skim Coats for Smooth Walls | SND Electrical

Finish plaster and skim coats are used to create smooth, even wall and ceiling surfaces ready for decorating. This collection brings together reliable options suited to patch repairs, full wall skimming and final coats over plasterboard. Whether you are improving a single room or working through a larger refurbishment, these products are selected for consistent results and straightforward application.

Our range of finish plaster and skim coats is suitable for trade plasterers, electricians making good after second fix work, and capable DIYers. These materials are designed for interior use where a clean, flat finish is needed before painting or wallpapering. They are commonly chosen by installers who want a neat finish around sockets, switches and trunking.

Common uses include skimming over plasterboard, covering existing artex, smoothing chased walls after rewiring, and repairing damaged or uneven internal surfaces. Finish plasters are also widely used on ceilings and stairwells where light can highlight imperfections. Choosing the right skim coat helps reduce sanding and gives a professional-looking base for decorating.

When choosing a finish plaster, consider the background surface, the size of the area and your working time. Some skim coats are better suited to full walls, while others are ideal for small repairs and patching. Think about ease of mixing, application thickness and how quickly you need the surface to be ready for the next stage.

The collection includes products from trusted manufacturers known across the UK trade for dependable quality. Each item is intended for internal finishing and general making good, helping you achieve a smooth result that blends in with surrounding surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and application to get the best outcome.
