Do you skim coat walls in Wellington?
Yes. Skim coating and skimming are published services. A skim coat is also how a Level 5 finish covers the whole plasterboard surface, not only the joints.

Skim coating and plaster repairs
Straight Edge Interiors skim coats and repairs plaster walls in Wellington: patching, re-lining, and skimming to a paint-ready finish, including on villa and character work.
Skim coats
A coat over the whole surface
Skim coating is published both as a repair finish and as the extra coat in a Level 5 specification. On a repair, it takes a patched wall to an even surface before paint. On Level 5, it covers the whole wall or ceiling so the joints do not read differently from the board face. The GIB definition is on the Level 5 page.
