Drywall/ Slabbing
Slabbing/drywall is usually the first job a Plasterer will have to do when he starts the inside of a property. Slabs/drywall can either be screwed or anchored onto stud walls & ceilings or they can be stuck on with adhesive & then levelled using a straight edge & level ,this system is known as dot & dab. The purpose of slabbing/drywall is to provide a backing for the skim coat plaster or tape & jointing.
Skimming
Skimming is the most common job for any Plasterer. Skimming is a coat of generally 4mm thick Gyproc skim coat applied to walls & ceilings which is then finished with a steel trowel so that the walls & ceilings are perfectly level & smooth after slabbing, mortaring etc has been carried out. Lanarkshire Plastering Co has carried out skimming projects all over Lanarkshire.

Rendering/Smooth finish/Dashing
There are many different types of external finishes in the trade of Plastering. The most common finish around Lanarkshire in our experience is Smooth finish. Smooth finish consists of three coats of plaster. The first coat is usually called scudding which is a mixture of 2×1 sharp sand & cement mixture applied to wall using a scudding scoop or Harking trowel. This coat is to provide a key or grip for the second coat which is called a scratchcoat.
The scratchcoat is a 3×1 mixture of sand, cement & waterproofer which is applied & levelled over the scud to form a key/grip for the smooth finish coat. Smooth finish is the final coat which is a 4x1x1 mixture of sand, cement & hydraulic lime which is applied & levelled over the scratch coat. It is then floated up using a plastic or timber float followed by a sponge finish to ensure the finish is smooth & consistent.
Other forms of external finishes that we carry out are dry dashing which has the same process as smooth finishing except the final coat has dry dashing stone applied to the wall when wet using a scoop or Harling trowel.
