Ask how many years they have done residential plastering, whether they carry liability insurance, and if they can show recent local references. Request the brand of plaster, number of coats, and whether the price includes primer. A written contract with start date, completion date, and payment schedule protects both sides if delays happen.
Gypsum plaster is standard for interior walls and ceilings in most modern homes. Lime plaster is softer and lets old walls breathe, which matters in buildings with solid masonry. Cement-based plaster resists moisture and is used in bathrooms, basements, and exterior walls. Each type needs different mixing ratios, drying times, and primers before paint can go on.
Plastering creates fine white dust during sanding and wet splashes during application. Ask if the plasterer lays floor sheeting and masks doorways. Furniture should be moved out before work begins. Without protection, dust settles on nearby surfaces for days after the job ends and damages wooden floors.
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.
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.
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.
A proper quote breaks down surface area in square metres, number of coats, and prep work. Ask whether corner beads, mesh tape, and primer are included. Watch for vague lines like labour and materials. Reputable plasterers measure the walls themselves and write the m² on the quote so you can compare offers side by side fairly.
Many plasterers set a minimum call-out fee for repairs under 2 m². The minimum covers travel, setup, and cleaning, not just the patch. Bigger patches cost less per square metre because the setup cost is spread wider. Ask about the minimum fee before booking a small repair.
Height over 3 metres often adds a surcharge because of scaffolding. Ceilings cost more per m² than walls due to overhead work. Decorative cornices, curved surfaces, and rounded arches take longer and are priced separately. Removing old plaster, hauling debris, and disposing of it legally can add a fixed amount to the total bill.
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.
