What do plasterer services include?

Booking a plastering service on Airtasker allows you to work with experts who have the right skill set and proven portfolio to enhance the aesthetic appeal, longevity, and durability of your walls or ceilings. If you plan to prime these surfaces for remodelling or decorate your living space, plastering is a step you mustn’t miss. 


Here are other plastering services you can get via Airtasker:


Ceiling plastering

For a successful ceiling plastering, enlist the help of skilled tradespeople. Applying plaster to the ceiling demands a high level of precision due to the physically tiresome overhead work. Plasterers usually start by cleaning the ceiling surface and preparing the surrounding area. While some Taskers can move or cover furniture, you may need a separate service to clear the room. Afterwards, a base coat of plaster is applied, followed by a finishing coat after the base has set. Special care is taken to ensure an even surface without sagging or dripping. 


Wall plastering

To achieve a smooth interior wall surface, ideal for wallpapering or repainting, hire a Tasker to apply plaster on your walls. This service is similar to ceiling plastering, though plasterers have easier access and navigation around the area due to the vertical orientation. They remove any dust or debris from the area and proceed to apply two coats of plaster for complete and even coverage. If necessary, plasterers can apply a bonding agent before plastering. Wall plastering can also involve drywall plastering or applying plasterboard for added protection against noise and humidity. 


Plaster repair

Before beginning a plaster repair job, experts often advise hiring other specialists to address any underlying issues near or around the plaster. Once problems like leaks or damaged pipes are resolved, plasterers inspect the site themselves to evaluate the extent of the damage. Afterwards, they prepare the appropriate amount and type of plaster needed, matching its texture and appearance with the plaster already installed. To restore the plaster to its original condition, consider hiring a painter to apply a fresh coat of paint after the repairs. 


Plaster coving

Plastic coving is a practical service if you desire some quick, elegant enhancement to an otherwise dull room or require assistance hiding noticeable imperfections. The process involves plasterers installing decorative moulding on the junction between the walls and ceilings. Plaster is ideal for coving given its flexibility even in awkward angles and areas, but there are plastic selections to consider if you prefer an affordable alternative. During a coving service, plasterers measure and cut the coving to fit and install it with adhesives. 


Lime plastering

If you manage an eco-friendly household, lime plastering is an excellent choice. A traditional technique that uses a mixture of lime, sand and water, lime plastering creates a breathable wall finish and a durable surface that can withstand 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 older structures.
