Which Barnet postcodes do you cover?

Do I need to skim plasterboard or can I just tape and joint it?

Either works. Tape and joint is quicker and cheaper and gives a decoration-ready surface when done well. A full skim gives a harder, more uniform finish and is often preferred in homes and where walls will be seen in raking light.
