What affects the price of a plastering job in London

No two jobs cost the same, which is why we do not publish a single average. These are the things plasterers usually take into account:

• The area to be plastered: a patch repair, a single room and a whole house are priced differently.
• What is underneath: bare brick, old plaster, plasterboard or damp walls need different preparation.
• Whether the job is skimming over existing walls, a full re-plaster or a decorative finish.
• Drying time between coats and when the decorator needs the walls ready.
• Preparation such as removing wallpaper, taking off old plaster or protecting floors.

London homes range from Victorian houses to purpose-built flats and new conversions. Lime plaster and decorative details on period homes call for a plasterer with experience of them. In flats, check any noise limits and mention shared stairs that need protecting when materials come in.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an accurate quote for a plastering job in London?

Say which walls and ceilings are involved, what is on them now and whether you have seen cracks or damp. Photos from a few angles help. The more a plasterer can see before quoting, the less likely the price is to change later.

Do plasterers in London charge for a call-out or a visit?

It depends on the plasterer and the job. Some charge for a visit, some do not, and some include it in the quote. Ask before anyone comes out and check that the written quote says what is and is not included.

What should I check before hiring a plasterer in London?

Ask about a written quote that states the finish, such as skim, render or plasterboard and public liability insurance, with the certificate shown before work starts. Ask for a written quote, and read the reviews on the trader's profile.

Can I get an urgent plastering job done in London?

Yes, you can mark your job as urgent when you post it. Traders who are available now see urgent jobs first, and if nobody replies we step in. Whether someone can come the same day depends on who is free near you.

Why do some pages show prices and others do not?

We only show prices that traders have published on Arkadia, and only when enough different traders have done so for the same trade and area. Where there are not enough yet, we show no figures rather than guess.
