About Plasterer
What Happens Around Light Fixtures
Cut-outs for ceiling lights need clean edges and proper sealing around the junction box. A sloppy cut-out causes cracks where the plaster meets the fixture. Ask if the plasterer refills around downlights and whether they wait for the electrician before sealing the ceiling.
Types of Plaster Used in Homes
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.
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.
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.
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 to Read a Quote
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.
Timing With Other Trades
Plastering should happen after rough plumbing, electrical, and framing are done but before cabinets, trim, or final flooring go in. Skipping this order leads to damaged finishes and rework. Schedule the plasterer for the same week the electrician finishes. Most plasterers need 24 to 48 hours notice and a cleared, dry, heated room on arrival.
Why Some Walls Need Skim Only
If the existing plaster is sound but rough, a 2 mm to 3 mm skim coat is often enough. Skimming is faster than full re-plastering and produces less waste. However, skimming fails if the old layer is loose. A quick tap test tells the plasterer which route the wall needs.
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.
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.
