About Plasterer
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
