Plastering is the trade that turns building work into finished rooms. Whether you need a single wall skimmed, a whole house re-plastered after a renovation, or external rendering, the flatness and finish of the plasterwork determines how good every coat of paint afterwards will look. HireTrades lets you compare local plasterers by verified reviews and past work before you request quotes.
Ask any plasterer you are considering whether your walls need a full float-and-set or just a skim coat over existing plaster — an honest answer to this question is a good character test. For older properties with lime plaster, check the plasterer has worked with lime before, as modern gypsum over lime causes problems. For rendering and external work, ask about materials (sand-cement, monocouche, silicone render) and expected lifespan. Confirm dust protection and floor covering are part of the job.
Skimming a single wall typically costs £100–£200, a full room (walls and ceiling) £400–£700, and a complete three-bedroom house re-skim £2,500–£4,500. Plasterboarding and skimming a ceiling runs £250–£450 per room. External rendering of a semi-detached house usually costs £4,000–£8,000 depending on the system used. Plasterers typically charge day rates of £180–£280, with London and the South East at the higher end.
