Practical answers
Skimming questions

Can every wall be skimmed?
No. Loose plaster, damp or unsuitable coatings need dealing with first. AJM Pro checks the background before recommending a skim.
Can you skim over Artex?
Some textured coatings can be prepared and skimmed, but the condition and age need checking before work starts.
