About Esher

What a plasterer does
A plasterer prepares the surface, mixes the plaster and applies it in thin layers with a trowel, then polishes it. The timing matters because plaster sets quickly.
Jobs people often ask plasterers to do:
- Plastering a new extension
- Replacing lath and plaster ceilings
- Rendering outside walls
- Fitting coving and cornice
- Repairing cracks
Before you book a plasterer
- Textured coatings such as Artex applied before 2000 can contain asbestos. Do not sand or scrape them. Have a sample tested first.
- New plaster needs time to dry before painting, often a few days or more. Ask when you can decorate, and what to put on first.
- Ask whether the price covers boarding, scrim tape and preparation or only the skim coat.
- Ask if the plasterer protects floors and furniture, and who clears up the dust afterwards.
