How to find a reliable, local plasterer

Looking to get your walls and ceilings in top shape? Finding a skilled plastering service is essential if you want to achieve a polished look. 

What a plasterer can help you with 

Plasterers and renderers play a vital role in construction and renovation projects, smoothing out imperfections, adding decorative finishes, and creating a flawless canvas for your interiors.

In other words, they prepare your bathroom, bedroom, and living room walls for painting and decorating, giving them a protective layer. Plastering services also do:

  • 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

Whether you need your bathroom plastered, you want to get your kitchen ceiling plastered, or you want to plaster your entire home, post a job today to request a quote from a skilled plastering company.

How much does it cost to hire a plasterer?

Illustration of a row of houses labelled with the cost to carry out different plastering and rendering jobs

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
  • Between £1,900 and £6,000 to render your external walls (depending on the size of your property)

For the full list of plastering, skimming and rendering costs, read our 2023 plastering cost guide.

Factors to consider when hiring a plasterer

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:

  1. Are a skilled company with a strong history of successful projects
  2. Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
  3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
  4. Are offering the plastering or rendering service you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
  5. 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.

For all your plastering needs, post a job today to find a skilled plasterer in your local area.

Insurance for plastering work

Like most tradespeople, plasterers should have public liability insurance to protect both parties against any potential damage or personal injuries.

Planning permission for plastering jobs

You may need to apply for planning permission to plaster or render your property, especially if you live in a listed building or in a conservation area.

Read our planning permission guide or visit the Planning Portal website for more details.

If your rendering job covers a substantial part of the exterior of your property, your plasterer will also need to comply with building regulations.

Questions to ask before you hire a plasterer or renderer

How many years of experience do you have?

Knowing how many years of experience your plasterer or renderer has will allow you to pick a tradesperson who you are confident has sufficient expertise to carry out a high quality job. When you’re finding a plasterer through Rated People, head over to their profile to check out the pictures on their work gallery and their ratings and reviews.

How much will the job cost?

Asking how much the job will cost will help you budget for your project and will ensure price transparency before you hire. How much you’ll end up spending depends on the scope

of your project, and where you live in the UK, so make sure you add plenty of details when you post a job.

How long will the job take?

Knowing what your project’s estimated timeline is will help you set realistic expectations about how long your plastering job will take to complete.

What will you do to protect my property during the job?

Always ask your tradespeople how they plan to keep your property safe and clean during a job. A plasterer can cover your floors and furniture with plastic sheets and use painters tape to seal off the work area from the rest of the house. This will give you peace of mind that you and your home will be protected from damage.

Tips for working with a plasterer

  1. Be crystal clear about what you want and how much you are willing to spend. Open communication is key to ensuring you and your plasterer are on the same page when it comes to your project’s scope and budget
  2. Stay in the loop and ask for updates as the project unfolds. While unlikely, this will allow you to address any issues before they escalate
  3. Keep a written record of any changes to timelines and costs. This will serve as a reference point to help ensure work is carried out to a high standard and as you expected

They did a poor job painting my doors. Three days later the paint is already in a poor state and flaking off. I can share photos showing the state of the door after they finished painting it. They were in a rush to do the whole work in a day. They put wood filler and painted on it before it was dry. I suspect this is why the paint cracked as the filler dried and contracted. They didn't sand the interior side and just painted on top of the old paint. I will have to sand it and repaint it.

Newman plastering.  I am a one man band company, with just myself on the tools This means I have no overheads, so I am able to keep the cost down for my clients, but if needs be I can lay my hands on quality plasterers who share the same skill and passion for the job as me. range of services cover: * skimming plastering * Damproofing * External rendering * Dry lining * Internal rendering * Monocouche scratched renders(k rend) Why choose me? * friendly & reliable service * Many years of experience * Pay attention to health & safety * clean & tidy I have more than 10 years experience in all aspects of the plastering trade, and started learning the art of plastering with my uncle . By the time I was ready to leave school I was already becoming handy with the trowel and had some experience behind me, so I went on to do my apprenticeship and work with various other plasterers gaining more experience and learning my trade on housing sites and various  big commercial jobs, as well as doing the odd domestic and private jobs. What makes me different from most companies? Well, I actually enjoy what I do and love plastering, so you can be sure to get a top job. So now you know a bit about me, feel free to use me for your plastering needs.
