About Plasterer
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.
Cost Factors Beyond Square Metres
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.
Moisture and Plaster Failures
Rising damp, leaking pipes, and poor ventilation turn plaster black, soft, or powdery. Repainting over the symptom never fixes the cause. A plasterer should identify and tell you about the moisture source before quoting. Solving the leak or installing extraction first, then letting the wall dry for 2 to 4 weeks, gives a repair that actually lasts.
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.
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.
Dust, Mess, and Floor Protection
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.
Soundproofing and Plaster Choices
Standard plaster has little soundproofing value on its own. Adding a dense plaster layer or a multi-layer board system improves acoustic performance. Older walls with lath and lime plaster often block sound better than modern thin skim coats. Discuss acoustic needs before choosing the system.
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.
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.
Plastering vs Drywall Mudding
Plaster and drywall joint compound are different products. Plaster sets chemically and goes hard in hours, while joint compound dries by losing water. A plasterer can level uneven masonry, cover old brick, and build smooth surfaces in one go. For thin seams between drywall sheets, taping and mudding is usually faster and cheaper than full plaster.
