Top Plasterer related questions
Generally, you won't need a specific plastering licence for small jobs. However, if you plan to work on larger projects, there may be some requirements to fulfil depending on your state.
For example, New South Wales requires a licence or certificate for any residential building work exceeding $5,000, including plastering. The type of licence you need depends on the project's value. For other states, plastering might fall under a broader construction licence.
The average cost of plastering ranges from $23 to $70 per square metre, but this range can vary depending on various factors such as your location, the type of plaster you require and the area of the house to work on. For a more precise estimate, request a detailed quote from your Tasker.
It could take one to three days, depending on the number of areas that you need to have plastered. For a more precise estimate, consult your Tasker.
Plaster usually dries after two to three days on the first application, then another seven days for the final coat.
Yes, lime plaster is an excellent choice to consider. It’s an environmentally friendly material that helps to regulate humidity and reduce the risk of mould, making it ideal for homes in Australia’s varied climates. And of course, it works well with both contemporary and traditional designs, which is a great plus.
Gypsum plaster is a widely used material for interior wall and ceiling finishes. Other common choices are cement plaster and clay plaster. A more modern and affordable option is synthetic plaster made of plastic. Each type of plaster has its own unique properties, so it's best to consult your Tasker for the best material for your purpose.
The difference between plastering and skimming is that plastering refers to the application of multiple coats of plaster to a wall or ceiling, often including a base coat and a top coat.
Skimming, on the other hand, is the application of a thin, final coat of plaster (or a specialised skimming compound) to create a smooth, even surface ready for decorating. Essentially, skimming is the final stage of the plastering process.
A good plasterer on Airtasker will have positive reviews and ratings from previous clients, showcasing their skill and reliability. Look for plasterers with experience in the specific type of plastering you need, evident in their profile and portfolio, and don't hesitate to ask for references or examples of their work before hiring. Clear communication and upfront pricing are also hallmarks of a trusted plasterer.
To complete your home maintenance checklist, you might also need painters to finish the walls, electricians for any rewiring, or carpenters if you're adding or changing any woodwork. Find all these trades and more on Airtasker to coordinate your project seamlessly.

What do plasterer services include?
For top-quality plastering, it is best to hire experts. Airtasker can match you with tradespeople with the right skill set and proven portfolio to improve your walls or ceilings’ aesthetic appeal, longevity and durability. Plastering is crucial for repairing surfaces, priming your home for remodelling or incorporating decorative features to enhance your living space.
Here are other plastering services you can get via Airtasker:
Plasterer service - ceiling plastering
Applying plaster to the ceiling is a task that requires a high level of skill and precision due to the overhead work. Plasterers begin by cleaning the ceiling surface and preparing the surrounding areas. While some plasterers near you can move or cover furniture, you may need a separate service to clear the space. Once the area is ready, a base coat of plaster is applied, followed by a finishing coat after the base has set. Experts take special care to ensure smooth and even coverage without sagging or dripping.
Plasterer service - wall plastering
If you need a smooth interior wall surface for wallpapering or repainting, opt for wall plastering. The process is similar to ceiling plastering, though plasterers have easier access and more room to move due to the vertical surface. Plasterers remove dust or debris from the wall and cover the rest of the area, then apply two coats of plaster for complete and even coverage. Wall plastering can also involve drywall plastering or applying plasterboard for added protection against noise and humidity.
Plasterer service - plaster repair
To avoid recurring damages to the plaster, experts often recommend hiring other specialists to work on any underlying issues near or supporting the plaster before they start the actual plaster repair job. Once problems like leaks or damaged pipes are addressed, plasterers inspect the site to assess the extent of the damage. They then prepare the appropriate amount and type of plaster needed for the repairs, making sure it matches the existing plaster in terms of texture and appearance. After completing the repairs, it's advisable to hire a painter to apply a fresh coat of paint to restore the plaster to its former glory.
Plasterer service - plaster coving
To add elegance to a room or hide noticeable imperfections, consider plaster coving. For this service, decorative moulding is installed on the junction where walls meet ceilings. While different types of plastics are now used for coving, plaster remains the best choice due to its adaptability even in awkward angles and areas. Plasterers measure and cut the coving to fit and then install and secure it with adhesives.
Plasterer service - lime plaster
For an environmentally friendly choice, you can opt to use lime plaster. A traditional technique that uses plaster with lime, lime plastering creates a breathable wall finish and a durable surface that can last for centuries. Lime plaster is also known for its natural antiseptic properties and ability to regulate humidity, making it ideal for spaces prone to dampness and for preserving the integrity of older structures.
Plasterer service - polished plaster
For a luxurious and contemporary finish, consider polished plaster. This technique creates a smooth, highly reflective surface with a unique, marble-like appearance. Polished plaster, also known as Venetian plaster, is achieved through multiple layers of plaster applied and burnished to a high sheen.
It's ideal for feature walls and creating a statement in any space. Because of the specialised skills required, it's essential to hire experienced plasterers specialising in polished plaster application.
