How to Choose a Plastering Company
Check qualifications and insurance
A reputable plasterer should have public liability insurance and relevant trade qualifications. For plasterboard work on new builds, check whether they are a certified installer for the plasterboard brand being used.
Ask for a detailed written quote
The quote should specify the area to be plastered (in square metres), the number of coats, the finish type, and what preparation and cleanup is included. Vague pricing leads to disputes.
Request to see recent work
Quality variation in plastering is significant. Ask to see photos or visit a recent job site. Pay particular attention to skim coat smoothness, cornice joins, and the quality of finishing around corners and edges.
Combine rooms for better rates
Setup, travel, and cleanup time is the same whether you plaster one room or three. Combining multiple rooms into a single job reduces the per-room cost by 15–25% and ensures a consistent finish throughout.
Confirm drying and painting timelines
Fresh plaster needs 1–2 weeks to dry before painting. Confirm the expected timeline for completion, drying, and when your painter can start. Rushing this process leads to paint failure.
Clarify cleanup and waste removal
Plastering generates significant dust and waste. Confirm whether the plasterer will clean up, remove waste, and leave the area ready for painting, or whether this is your responsibility.
