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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
