Default How thick is a plaster board skim

I took down some boxing around a 4 inch flue pipe to get a new 5 inch
pipe installed and now I need to rebuild the boxing. I don't want to
disturb the existing skirting and picture rail so to find the position
of the frame work I need to allow for the p/b and the skim coat so how
thick is the skim normally.
