About Plasterer
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.
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.
Questions to Ask Before Hiring
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.
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.
How Plasterers Price Small Patch Jobs
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.
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.
What a Plasterer Does at Home
A plasterer coats interior walls and ceilings with plaster or finishing compounds. The work covers new builds, repairs after plumbing or electrical jobs, and skim coats over old surfaces. Most jobs finish between 1 and 5 days, depending on room size, number of rooms, and how much preparation the wall needs before the first coat is applied.
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.
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.
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.
