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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
