What a plasterer does
On new walls plasterers fit and tape boards then skim over them. On old walls they may repair or replace failed plaster first.
Jobs people often ask plasterers to do:
- Plastering a new extension
- Replacing lath and plaster ceilings
- Dry lining and taping plasterboard
- 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.
- Ask whether the price covers boarding, scrim tape and preparation or only the skim coat.
- Cracks can come back if the cause was movement. A good plasterer will tell you if they think the wall needs looking at first.
- Damp walls will not hold new plaster. If you can see tide marks or salts, have the cause looked at first.
