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.

Tony did an absolutely amazing job patching/painting some walls. I’ve had plenty of tradies come through to complete jobs like this however, this is the best by so far! Looks like a brand new house after the patch and paint. Tony is a genuine, honest hard worker who is fantastic with his communication and the work is world class. Any handy jobs that need done around the house, give this man a call. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Painting ceiling and patch plaster. Moonee Ponds

$250

Moonee Ponds, Victoria

8th Jan 2025

Due to some water damage, part of the ceiling is discoloured so the ceiling of 1 room needs to be repainted (3.4 x 3.0 metres). Also there's 2 small places where plaster needs to be patched - see photos. I'm wanting this ceiling and the cornices painted. I can provide undercoat and paint. This is in an apartment, 1 story above the ground. Most people bid on jobs without readi g the description. So I know you've read this, send me a message starting with the word "blue" if you want to bid on this. - Note there is no electricity at the property due to it being unoccupied, only cold water available - Note that I will need a confirmation 90 minutes before on the day that the job is going ahead as it's a long drive for me to the property

All good, will happily use again. Very reliable and takes his time to do the job.
