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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
