I am really pleased with the job - we have had some unexpected niggles, and Michael was always available on the phone to explain and arrange to fix them, and get his team in. (I have been working and not on site - I trusted them to get on with the job whilst I was a work - and they did). The end result is great - on time, at the quoted price, and looks excellent. I would definitely use Michael's firm in the future.

Plasterers & Renderers - what you need to know
A good plasterer can give your walls a smooth finish, whether it’s covering up the brickwork of a load-bearing wall, or if it’s to cover the plasterboard of an internal wall. Once done the wall will be damp-proofed and ready for decorating - and of course, a good plasterer will do it in record time.
What a plasterer can help with
- Solid plastering (applying wet finishes to surfaces and putting protective coverings like pebble-dash on outside walls).
- Fibrous plastering (creating ornamental plasterwork like ceiling roses, cornices and architraves).
- Dry lining (fixing internal plasterboard or wallboard partitions).
- Skimming (covering plaster with a flawlessly smooth surface for decoration).
- Rendering (protecting or brightening brickwork, adding a modern layer of plaster to the wall, or simply repairing or replacing current renders, such as stucco finishes).
They can also create ornamental plastering to give your home a rustic or decorative feel. Their skills stretch to putting up internal plasterboard and wallboard partitions - great for when you need to create a new room or space in your home.
If you have a modern home then plastering and skimming should be a simple task for any experienced plasterer.
In period or suburban properties, the walls can be made from brick or even concrete, and the plaster may be applied direct to the walls rather than to plasterboard.
In older properties you may not be after the smooth finish we’re used to in modern homes, so you could go for a lime plaster instead that gives a more rustic look. If you have an older home, or one that’s listed, then you should always let the plasterer know first so they can take this into account.
The cost of the job will depend on the size of the room and how much work needs to be done in terms of preparation and finishing. If you have very deteriorated plaster on your walls, or damp plaster work on the ceiling that needs to be removed, then you’ll probably need the old plaster to come off and an entirely new plasterboard fitted.

Insurance for plastering work
Like most trades who are working on your home, they’ll need public liability insurance to protect you against any damage that could potentially happen.
Planning permission for plastering jobs
You’ll also need to check planning permission if your home is a listed building or if it’s in a conservation area. Your plasterer or builder should be able to advise on these issues.
Building regulations for plasterers
If a render covers a substantial part of the exterior of your property, your plasterer will need to comply with building regulations.
Questions you should ask a plasterer
- Do they have public liability insurance and what does this cover?
- How long have they been trading for?
- How long will the work take?
- Does the room need to be cleared and is this something they can help with?
- Will the room be usable immediately after the work or does it need to dry? If it needs to dry, for how long?
