What plasterers can help with
On Arkadia Connect, plasterers take on jobs such as these. If your job is not on the list, describe it in your own words and pick the closest trade.
- Skimming walls and ceilings
- Patch repairs
- Rendering
- Dry lining and plasterboard
- Coving
Plasterers skim and patch walls and ceilings, apply render and fit plasterboard. The right approach depends on what is underneath, so say whether you have bare brick, old plaster or plasterboard.
What to include in your plasterer job post
The clearer your description, the easier it is for a tradesperson to quote accurately. A good job post includes:
- Your postcode, so the right local traders are alerted
- What needs doing, and roughly how big the job is
- Photos or a short video of the work area, plus parking and access details
- Any deadline, and whether the job is urgent
- Say which walls and ceilings are involved, what is on them now, and whether you have noticed cracks or damp.
How to choose a plasterer
Each profile shows badges for the checks our team has made, such as ID checked or Insurance uploaded. A badge tells you what we looked at, not that we recommend the trader, so read the profile and ask questions. Reviews on Arkadia come from jobs booked through Arkadia, so every review is real.
Worth checking before you hire:
- A written quote that states the finish, such as skim, render or plasterboard
- Public liability insurance, with the certificate shown before work starts
- Dust protection and clean-up included in the price
- Agreed drying time before decorating
Ask how dust and floors will be protected, and how long the plaster needs to dry before decorating.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a plasterer cost?
Prices depend on the size of the job, the materials and how easy the work is to reach, so the most reliable way to know is to compare written quotes. Post your job for free and local plasterers can quote for the work you need.
Should I get more than one quote?
Yes. Comparing two or three written quotes for the same work, materials and timescale helps you spot anything missing or unusually priced.
How can I check a plasterer is insured?
Ask to see their public liability insurance certificate before any work starts, and check it covers the type of work you need. Look for the Insurance uploaded badge on a profile, but we do not assess the cover, so confirm the insurance yourself.
How many plasterers will contact me?
Only up to 3 traders can take up each job, so you hear from a few plasterers who want the work rather than a crowd. If nobody replies within 24 hours, we step in.
What should a written quote include?
A clear description of the work, the materials and who supplies them, the price or payment stages, the start date and estimated timescale, and what happens if the job changes.
