About Plasterer
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Signs of a Bad Plastering Job
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.
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.
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.
