About Plasterer
Health and Dust Controls During Work
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Aftercare Before Painting or Wallpapering
New plaster needs to dry fully before paint or wallpaper goes on. Latex paint on damp plaster peels within weeks. Most plasterers recommend waiting at least 1 week per coat before priming. Use a mist coat of watered-down emulsion first to seal the surface properly.
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.
Surface Preparation That Matters
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.
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.
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.
