Why We Use Drop-Down Sheeting When Skimming Just the Ceiling
More and more customers are asking us to skim just the ceilings — usually after staring at that dated artex for too long and deciding it’s finally time for a fresh, modern look.
When you’re only having the ceiling done and not the walls, protecting the room properly is key — and that’s where drop-down masking film comes in. At On Touch Plastering & Rendering, we use plastic sheeting with an adhesive top edge to create a tight barrier just below the ceiling line.
This stops water, PVA runs, plaster flicks, and sponge marks from touching your painted or wallpapered walls — meaning no need to redecorate when we’re done.
✅ Perfect for freshening up rooms without a full refurb
✅ Saves you repainting walls after skimming
✅ Quicker clean-up and a sharp, professional finish
Whether you’re prepping your home to sell, giving the lounge a lift, or just sick of that 80s artex, we make sure the job’s done cleanly and efficiently.
This protective sheeting is included in every ceiling-only job — just part of the care we take to leave your room exactly how we found it (but with a much smoother ceiling).
