Top Plasterer related questions

While there is no mandatory plastering licence, those looking to work on larger construction projects are highly recommended to hire a plasterer registered with a competent person scheme like the British Gypsum Association. This ensures they meet industry standards and have proper insurance.

Plastering can cost between £150 to £200 per square metre on average, but this range can vary depending on your location, the type of plaster you require and the area of the house to work on among other factors. 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?

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.

Hello (reposting this task as I now have a starting date), we recently replaced our carpet with wooden flooring and we had to replace the skirt-boards too. The house (hallways + stairs + landing + living room + bedroom + office and their ceilings) now needs to be repainted (and some areas of the walls need fixing the missing plaster/ drywall). The walls won’t need a primer but just 2 coats of paint. The furniture needs to be moved (in the center of the rooms or from one room to another). The skirting boards + stairs/handrails and some of the doors (3-4) needs to be painted too. The rooms are this size: - hallways + stairs + landing: 16 sq mt - living room: 21 sq mt - bedroom: 11 sq mt - office: 7 sq mt Thank you
