| Plastering and SkimmingPlastering and skimming is the application of finishing plaster. Better known as a 'two coat skim'. Applied over walls and ceilings, the result is a smooth surface which is ready for painting or papering. |  |  
  
 
| RenderingRendering is the application of a sand and cement mix to exposed brickwork. It makes a good water resistant surface. Technically, an outward facing wall is 'rendered'. An internal facing wall is 'bonded'. When rendering a wall, two layers are applied. Firstly a 'scratch' layer is applied. This offers a nice, flat, even surface for the second layer. The second layer is applied and then sanded to complete a nice finished surface. |  |  
  
 
| Dry-liningDry-lining basically means fixing plasterboard to walls. Once the wall has been drylined, it can be skimmed with finishing plaster to provide a smooth finish. It is then ready for painting and decorating or wallpapering. Because dry lining takes less time than plastering, it ususlaly works out to be more cost effective. |  |  
  
 
| Tanking and WaterproofingWhen someone refers to 'tanking' they mean the application of a continuous water resistant barrier coating. It is applied to the inside of a building - usually a basement area - or applied to the external walls of a property. Tanking prevents water penetrating through to the internal walls. |  |  
  
 
| ScreedingScreeding is levelling and smoothing the top layer of a poured material. For example - concrete. A guide surrounds the area to be filled and the concrete is poured to match the height of the guide. The area is then smoothed off. |  |  
  
 
| ArtexingArtex is a plastering effect applied to ceilings and walls to produce a durable and long lasting finish. Very popular in the 1970's and 1980's, it is still a good way (and a cost effective method) of masking cracked or uneven ceilings. |  |    |
