How often should I get my plastering done?

Plastering is typically done during renovations or repairs, but areas that get damaged or cracked might need touch-ups every few years to keep your walls looking their best.

Can plasterers fix cracks in walls?

Absolutely. Experienced plasterers can repair everything from tiny hairline cracks to larger, more serious damage, leaving your walls smooth and ready for decorating.

How long does plastering take?

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.

Plastering- 22 Aug 2019
The last 3-4 weeks have been the worse experience of our renovation project. I deeply regret hiring this person and paying for materials upfront. DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON!!! Punctuality and reliability – he turned up when he wants, maybe just for a couple of hours & sometimes he doesn’t turn up at all (he gave so many excuses for not coming). We had an agreement that the work would be done in two weeks, he was with us for almost a month & only completed half the job. Honesty – he gave some a wide range of excuses for not turning up, I started to question how honest he was, I had trusted him with over £2k for materials, that he kept asking for more and more & not getting any work done and none of the materials were at ours, they were at his. When I asked for receipts, he kept putting it off. Saying the materials had to be delivered to his and that he kept ‘forgetting’. When we finally realised, we had hired the wrong person I told him to bring the rest of the materials around before picking up his tools. He lied to my face when picking up tools & said I would expect a delivery shortly with the missing materials. I waited two days & he kept stringing me along telling me the materials were bine delivered, they never turned up. Quality of work – questionable. The walls are wonky & unfinished. He abandoned the job after gutting the ceiling and damaging the original cornice beyond repair. This person is a compulsive liar & con artist who doesn’t know what hard graft is.

Extensions- 22 Jun 2021
Started off brilliantly. Worked full days, friendly, professional. But once work was nearly finished builders disappeared carpenters only came occasionally. Still waiting weeks later for carpentry work, electrical work and final building work to be completed. Very disappointed, would be loath to recommend this company to anyone. Still hoping they will return to finish.

Bricklaying- 13 Aug 2022
Complete waste of time. Hired this tradesman a few months ago, to work on a simple brick BBQ. We had a conversation in person about the job and i informed him i would be supplying the bricks as they are "reclaimed". On the day they were to start the job, he turned up and said "oh" where are the materials, which was concerning. I had to explain our conversation in detail to point out that i said i was supplying the brick as they were reclaimed, no mention of any other material. I had just completed a huge renovation project and this was one of the final contractors to be used. Unfortunately this person is very amateur, and he then made me pay £500 for materials to be delivered. I paid for the materials and the new start date he suggested wasnt suitable, he then said he longer wanted the job! Can you believe it, he made me pay for all the materials, even though that was not agreed in person. I have dealt with over 12 different teams working on this project, and this one is the worst. No care in the word, he even sent a text said he was "quaking in his pants" about a bad review. I just replied saying, that sums everything up - totally unprofessional. Move on.

What a job well done. Eduard skimmed all the walls in my house and repainted them to a great great standard. The price was also very competitive. He was a great communicator and didn’t do anything without letting me know first. I will be using him again in the future. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Bathroom was complete with a few minor details not satisfactory. Few improvements: not to leave cigarette butt's around property, no considerations with children around. Also not to make clients go out and buy building supplies like grout, cement boards etc.

Let us down last minute. Had been booked for a job on Monday. Discovered on Friday he wouldn’t be coming. But only once we’d texted to ask him what time hed be arriving on Monday. Did offer that he could have a friend come round to look at the job but frankly not impressed so we’re going to have to look for someone else.

Plastering- 2 Jan 2023
6 months on I only managed to paint the walls due to other commitments. I have to honestly say that the skimming of the walls was poorly done. There are lots of dips and uneveness all over the walls. I am not happy. This person promised to ensure that the walls will be smooth and even in order not to necessiate any sanding prior to painting. I feel I have been ripped off considering the amount that I paid. Furthermore, he opened the door to my front room without my knowledge which resulted in a vast amount of dust on all of my possessions. Had I'd known he would need to open the door I would have used dust sheets to cover my belongings and furniture. He made sure that he had closed the door back again in the hope that I would not notice. It's the lack of consideration to protect other peoples possesions and property that gets me. Also the fact that he went into my front room is open to suspicion. I would not use this person again.

Plastering- 21 Apr 2023
Very nice family man. well with communication and we agreed on a price and date.Came as agreed everything seemed very positive he did few hours work slowly which I felt he could have done more work as I have experience with this field.worth the money I felt he took advantage of us.he gave positive advice which was appreciated.he had family issues which we respect and waited patiently he promise to get back but I felt bad contacting him due to his family issues.his work was cracking also be didn't put beading on the corners which made the work look worse .Very disappointed with the quality of work.Basically he was all talk and quality of work was very bad.I had work re done for half the price and the work was done professional from another company.i requested refunds some of the money I paid but he refused which was only £75.I just feel that he's over charged me for his work that was really bad. was fair to ask some refund.to have it done properly.Think twice before offering him the job because he's although a very nice gentleman he's not capable of doing the work to decent standard.Very happy with his communicate but very disappointed with his work.Wish him all the best with his family but sorry Anthony your work was not good.i can't recommend your work to anyone.The crack's should not have happened if you knew what you was doing.Wasn't asking for much just a decent quality of work.DO NOT USE HIS SERVICE if you want decent work done .I am a fair person and waited patiently.
