Plastering services

Plastering is an essential part of creating smooth, durable walls and ceilings that are ready for decorating. A professional plasterer can apply plaster to new surfaces, repair damaged areas, or refresh older walls to improve both appearance and longevity.

Whether you’re working on a renovation, new build, or repairing existing plaster, skilled plastering helps ensure a clean, even finish that stands the test of time

Plastering cost guide

The cost of plastering depends on the size of the area, the condition of the surfaces, and the type of work required. Plastering new plasterboard is often more straightforward than repairing damaged or uneven walls.

Costs can increase if:

  • Walls or ceilings need significant preparation
  • Old plaster needs removing or repairing
  • Ceilings are included
  • Access is difficult or rooms are fully furnished

Because every project is different, posting your job is the best way to receive quotes based on your specific requirements.

Really easy to use. I posted the job in the morning and had quotes back the same day. Ended up booking someone local and the work was spot on.

Nicky, Homeowner

So much simpler than ringing around. I got a couple of quotes, compared them, and picked the one that felt right. Would definitely use again.

Dan, Homeowner

Great service. The builder was very clear and local to me, so I’m not wasting time on the wrong type of quotes. I’ve already listed a new bit of work for a quote! 

Ian, Homeowner

We had a great experience using Request A Quote. Easy to use & soon after posting our job we had local tradespeople who were interested in the work.

How to hire a plasterer

Choosing the right plasterer helps ensure a high-quality finish and minimal disruption.

When hiring a plasterer, it helps to:

  • Confirm which rooms, walls, or ceilings need plastering
  • Describe the condition of the existing surfaces
  • Let them know if the property is occupied or empty
  • Mention when you plan to decorate afterwards

Providing clear details upfront allows plasterers to assess the work accurately and provide reliable quotes.

How plastering is carried out

Plastering usually begins with preparing the surfaces by cleaning them and repairing any cracks or damage. Plasterboard joints may be taped, and bonding coats applied where needed.

Plaster is then applied evenly and smoothed to create a flat, consistent surface. Once complete, the plaster is left to dry before decorating can begin.
