About Plasterer

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
