The time depends on the size and complexity of the job, but a skilled plasterer can usually complete a typical room in a few days, including drying time.

How can I tell if my plaster needs repairing?

If you notice cracks, bubbling, damp patches, or crumbling plaster, it’s a good sign you should get a professional plasterer to assess and fix the problem.

What types of plaster do plasterers work with?

Professional plasterers are trained in a variety of plaster types, like traditional lime plaster, gypsum plaster, and modern finishing plasters, and will recommend the best option for your home and project.

Steve plastered our kitchen extension which included applying the scratch and finishing coats to the walls. Plastering the ceiling and screeding the floor. He was very professional, polite and completed the work in accordance with his time schedule. His scope of work and costings were competitive and reasonable. Steve kept us informed of his progress throughout and was very tidy and kept his area of work safe. I would not hesitate to use Steve again and recommend him to family and friends.

Darran carried out the following work for me. (1) Soundproofing in my living room to wall and ceiling. (2) A partition wall to create a dining room. (3) Patched up where I had rewiring done and new sockets (4) skimmed Artex ceilings in bedrooms (5) Boarded upstairs ceiling where previous owner had left a hole in the sealing. I was very happy with Darren from the start as the first thing he did was protect all my carpets where he was doing work including where he needed to walk. Furniture was covered and protected. I was impressed with the finish as I was able to paint without the need of backing paper. I was uncertain at the start with the Artex as I have heard this can be difficult to skim but Darran had it looking smooth and even gave me tips on how to best paint the new plaster. The work was done about 6 months ago and I am happy to say no cracks have appeared where the work was carried out. Where I had a election was looking messy but thankfully Darran patched these areas up and made them look perfect. The partition wall looks as if it should have always been there. I cannot fault his work and would recommend him to anyone needing a plasterer. Unlike others I have had in the past, Darren turned up when he said he would and explained everything to me which put me at ease with the work he was carrying out. He is now the only plasterer I will use.

I decided to redecorate my bedroom. I knew there were 2 layers of wallpaper on the walls already and I wanted the walls stripped back and painted. I firstly attempted stripping the wallpaper myself but I was making a mess of the walls. I was recommended to call HJ Simpson & Son from a friend who said they were great at what they did and very reasonable. This is when I contacted Henry and his son Danny. From the moment they came to see me until the job was completed they were both extremely professional and friendly. They explained from the start exactly what they were going to do and how much it was going to be. They were very friendly and extremely tidy. Cleaned up everything behind them and left my bedroom looking amazing. Absolute perfect job done. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I will most certainly be using them again for future work. It's difficult nowadays who to choose to do work for you. You hear of so many horror stories but these are one of the good guys out there.

Duncan did a fantastic job in my bathroom. He tiled the floor with 600mm x 300m tiles which were very heavy. He then tiled the walls with smaller 300mm x 100mm tiles. He also skimmed the ceiling in which he did a fantastic job. He prepped everything and laid down all waterproofing etc, so I was confident in his abilities. We had a few problems with our internal walls which Duncan proposed a few different solutions dependent on budget, which was great as money was key for us! The tiling was very accurate and level, overall finish is of a excellent standard. Duncan is very trustworthy, I had to work and he was provided with a key to access the house, my family was also there. Duncan did the work when he promised, and finished when he said he would. Will be using Duncan again.
