About Plasterer
Surface Preparation That Matters
Plaster will fail if it goes over dust, grease, or loose paint. The wall has to be scraped, washed, and sometimes primed with a bonding agent. Old wallpaper paste must be fully stripped. On bare concrete or brick, a scratch coat is applied first and allowed to cure. Skipping prep is the most common cause of cracking within the first year.
Tools a Plasterer Brings to the Job
A plasterer usually arrives with a hawk, trowel, mixing drill, and plastering rule. Power sanders with dust extraction are common for finishing coats. Smaller tools like a margin trowel and corner trowel shape tight angles. Ask which tools they plan to use, because manual mixing versus a drill changes setup time on site.
Working Around Radiators and Pipes
Radiators are often removed before plastering behind them for a cleaner finish. Pipe runs need boxing or careful trowel work around brackets. If the radiator stays on the wall, expect gaps near brackets that may need filling later. Agree on this before work begins to avoid surprises.
How Long Plaster Takes to Dry
Finish plaster dries about 1 to 2 mm per day under good airflow and room temperature. A full 10 mm skim coat usually needs 7 to 14 days before painting. Lime plaster can take up to 4 weeks. Forced drying with heaters causes shrinkage cracks. Keep windows open or run a dehumidifier for the first 48 hours after application.
Different Plaster Finishes Explained
Smooth finish is the most common request for living areas. Textured or stippled finishes hide minor wall movement and suit older ceilings. Trowel-rough finishes add slip resistance in utility spaces. Each finish needs a different trowel pressure and number of passes, so clarify the look you want before work starts.
Health and Dust Controls During Work
Fine plaster dust irritates lungs, so proper extraction matters during sanding. Some plasterers use wet sanding to keep dust low. Ask about dust control if anyone in the home has asthma or allergies. Good ventilation during drying also speeds up the process and reduces trapped moisture.
Cracks, Holes, and Patch Repairs
Hairline cracks under 2 mm wide can be filled with flexible filler and sanded. Wider cracks, blown plaster that sounds hollow when tapped, and water stains usually mean the full coat has to come off. Patch repairs on old plaster rarely match perfectly, so expect to repaint the whole wall rather than spot-painting after a repair.
How Many Coats Are Usually Needed
A standard 2-coat system covers most fresh plasterboard. A 3-coat system is used on uneven brick or where a glass-like finish is needed. Each coat needs to dry before the next, so a 3-coat job takes longer than a 2-coat job. Ask how many coats are included in the price.
Aftercare Before Painting or Wallpapering
New plaster needs to dry fully before paint or wallpaper goes on. Latex paint on damp plaster peels within weeks. Most plasterers recommend waiting at least 1 week per coat before priming. Use a mist coat of watered-down emulsion first to seal the surface properly.
Signs of a Bad Plastering Job
Trowel marks, ripples, and visible joints between bays mean poor finishing. Flash setting, where the plaster hardens before it is smoothed, leaves a rough texture. Edges along corners that are not straight usually need sanding or a second pass. Check work with a long torch held flat against the wall before signing off the job.
