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- 17 Apr 2023
Highly unprofessional behaviour. After agreeing the contract/price both on "Whatsapp" and "Mybuilder", the tradesperson didnot turn up to do the job on the day, saying that the job is not worth of their time. Quite disappointed with this attitude.

Plastering- 30 Apr 2024
Dreadful. Were a member of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), so had expectation of quality. Communication professional up to acceptance, then rapidly deteriorated. Struggled to get a start date, then got a text at 7.12 am saying they wanted to start that day. Materials were dumped in the driveway. Insisted materials paid for in advance. Turned up first day 10.30, said “where’s the cement mixer?” then disappeared. Very messy. Everything within 2 metres of walls splattered. Invoices sent before work complete. One included £1,843.65 materials I had already paid for. When I queried the second, received angry and abusive text and email from Gavin. Then excuses and flannel, calls not returned. Job abandoned . Gavin seems a decent bloke, Victoria is the Lady Macbeth of the outfit. Stowe have left my house, garden and drive in a dreadful state for 9 months. Other plasterers refuse to touch what Stowe have done and are very critical. They have resigned from FMB. Avoid

Plastering- 11 Feb 2023
I posted on mybuilder for a plastering job. Jamie Taylor reached out and scheduled us in January. Was a terrible experience. Scheduled us in on 23rd and decides to take on another job 3 days later. Leaving us with an empty unfinished cellar. Made a deal of £2,800 for the whole cellar and £150 for the stairs. Gave false hope he'd finish the job asap. Wiring everything all sorted. We are now in February still no show and keeps asking about getting a 'wage' when all hes done is the woodwork on the ceiling. Hasn't done any plastering not even the roof or the walls. Terrible service - terrible builder. Would not recommend to anybody. Hes the type to take the money and run off. Good job we didnt pay in full but still paid upto £900 only for the roof!! Horrendous

Showed interest and obviously paid a shortlist fee but failed to call me once he had my number and when I asked. If he can’t do such a simple thing how is he going to do a good job rendering.

Plastering- 11 Mar 2020
This job was not done to a standard that I am happy with, very poor work workmanship. Some things not been done such as beading around the window, lack of care with windowsill, which now needs replacing. I have a un plastered area behind my radiator which I was told would be done. Not shown common courtesy off being polite when contacting him about these problems and re visiting the job and listening to the issues we had. He did offer to rectify it but wasn't happy for him to do so as such a poor job was not done to any standard. Poor customer experience all round

Very stressful and intimidating service the fitters was very aggressive shouting and swearing at me if I said I want something done to the point I paid them off to not have them back. A three day job come into 10 days and the workmanship was so bad I have had to spend almost 2k for plumbers and tilers to repair the damage left so negative is all I can give which I hate doing but really aweful service and I won’t use this site again now as check a builder obviously does not check its people

Plastering- 23 Sep 2022
I would not recommend you this plasterer. There was plaster splat everywhere. He left my place in a mess he was called in to clear up wipe down the cupboard, radiators, windows. I had to call him to come and clear it all up he also decided leave all plaster material he used the bags and bucket behind saying that he had no license tip this. He did take this the following day along with clearing up all the mess he left behind. I spent my Sunday waiting for him to clear everything up. Oh wait! there's more the ceiling he plastered in the my passage downstairs collapsed all over the floor two days later I have pictures to prove this. He then said he will charge me £100 to get it boarded and plastered will come on Thursday another week later. Then on Thursday at 10pm I get a text to say he cannot do the job for £100 he will charge me an additional courtesy deal of £160. I should transfer a deposit of £80 for him to start the job. Its been a nightmare best avoided save your money and time.

Plastering- 19 Jan 2023
Unfortunately I have to leave negative feedback, what started off well turned into a bad overall experience. I paid these lads to complete the plastering of an extension and parts of the existing house. They didn’t complete the job and had final payment with only a wall and snags left to finish. They also Screeded a floor which had to be relayed, when trying to contact both Kyle and Jarred neither have responded for 4 weeks. Nice lads but unfortunately couldn’t complete the job and messed me around when I could have completed it.

Plastering- 9 Oct 2022
Absolute disaster. There were two guys here for two days just to do a 12m2 porch. Made an absolute mess of it, drag marks, lumps, rough unpolished plaster and mess over the whole job which will have to be totally redone. Do not hire this guy, he has no idea what he is doing. Totally unprofessional.

Works that should take 2-3 weeks end up taking several months and still incomplete. Will now have to appoint a new contractor to rectify/complete unfinished works. Very disappointed with the service provided.

Beware this tradesman. He attempted to change the quote on arrival and even as I, reluctantly, accepted the new quote he simply abandoned the job!
