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:
- Skimming walls and ceilings
- Patching after rewiring or plumbing
- Replacing lath and plaster ceilings
- Fitting coving and cornice
- Repairing cracks
Before you book a plasterer
- 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.
- Lath and plaster ceilings in older houses can be repaired or boarded over. Ask which suits your ceiling.
- Damp walls will not hold new plaster. If you can see tide marks or salts, have the cause looked at first.
- Ask how many days the work will take, and whether rooms can be used in the meantime.
