These two systems are usually used below ground level or where you have ground level issues from inside to outside on the wall you are treating. The term tanking refers to a water proofing system that includes the floor and walls within a treated area. The term structural water proofing is used when specific areas are just being treated such as an individual wall or floor.
If left unchecked, damp can prove to be a serious problem for your property. To avoid high costs of repairing any possible structural damage, it needs to be treated as soon as possible. We'll investigate the cause of the issue and advise on the best solution suited to your needs. One of Mansfield's leading Damp proofing companies, with both standard guaranteed work and also Insurance backed guarantees.
Once established, dry rot has the ability to grow through solid walls and behind plasterwork. It is good practice to remove all infected materials rather than rely solely on chemical treatment. Dry rot spores are present in the air. Should the spores come in to contact with the timbers with a moisture content of around 23% there is a strong risk of an attack.
Damage to the wall? Does your new build need professional internal plastering? We provide highly professional and reliable plastering services to prepare your walls for internal decorating. Your satisfaction is our top priority, that's why we complete all our work to the highest standard. With our experience, dedication and attention to detail you can be sure your walls will be perfectly smooth and ready for painting.
Skimming is a two-coat decorative finish which can be applied to most fairly flat surfaces. This will give a smooth surface ready for decor. Plastering can involve two finishes. Jason says: It's simply that one term is more specific than the other.

The term "plastering" is often used to mean the same thing, so you could say "my walls need plastering" when they need what the trade call "skimming" but the term "plastering" is more generic so this could mean that more than just a skim is required, for example boarding and skimming or patching up holes "plastering" as opposed to skimming, but in general people just use the two terms to describe the same process.
