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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A standard 2-coat system covers most fresh plasterboard. A 3-coat system is used on uneven brick or where a glass-like finish is needed. Each coat needs to dry before the next, so a 3-coat job takes longer than a 2-coat job. Ask how many coats are included in the price.
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.
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.
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.
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.
