Miro gave me a fair price and had a slot so could do the work next day. He did an excellent job and was polite, clean and tidy. Had a short lunch break and was finished mid afternoon. Would recommend.

What can a plasterer & renderer help with?
Plastering and rendering are both methods of coating walls, but they serve different purposes and use different materials:
- Plastering involves applying a plaster mix to interior walls to create a smooth, paint-ready surface. It’s typically used inside the home to finish walls and ceilings.
- Rendering refers to applying a mixture to exterior walls. It protects against weathering and can improve a building’s appearance. Materials used in rendering can vary, including traditional sand and cement, as well as modern silicone and acrylic-based renders.
Within plastering, there are also range of types, which is why it is so essential to hire a professional:
- Solid plastering – applying wet finishes to surfaces and putting protective coverings on outside walls, like an acrylic or silicone render finish
- Fibrous plastering – creating ornamental plasterwork, such as ceiling roses, cornices and architraves
- Dry lining – fixing internal plasterboard or wallboard partitions
- Skimming – covering plaster with a flawlessly smooth finish, ready for decoration
What should I consider when hiring a plasterer or renderer?
Avoid unnecessary stress and expensive repairs down the line by hiring a skilled plasterer and renderer to help you with your next home improvement. Look out for plasterers that:
- Are a skilled company with a strong history of successful projects
- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the plastering or rendering service you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local plastering services
A local plastering service is more likely to respond quickly, as they’ll be right around the corner.

How much do plasterers & renderers cost to hire?
How much your plastering or rendering company will charge depends on a range of factors, including where you live in the UK, and the size of the area you want plastered.
How much prep work is required (for example if your existing plaster work has deteriorated a lot) will also impact on costs.
On average, 2023 plastering prices range from:
- Between £500 and £700 for a small room, or between £1,200 and £1,500 for a large room
- Between £200 and £550 to plaster skim a ceiling or between £200 and £750 for ceiling plastering
