Plastering & Rendering

Plastering a whole house?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 2.43 PM

I wish to get a rough idea of how much it would cost to replaster almost all internal walls of a 4 bedroom property in east London. I am in the process of buying my first family home and wanted an idea of the amount of work required. I would like the house replastered inside as its fairly old and needs some 'modernisation' before we can move in. Is the old plaster (sand + cement) removed before another layer is applied? Does the plasterer usually quote for the removal as well or just the plastering of walls? Does the brickwork get damaged during the removal of existing plaster? Do the plasterers complete the job by doing one or two layers of the finishing (skimming) or is this a job for someone else? Also is it the plasterers responsibility to remove all central heaters/skirting boards and any wall fixtures to carry out the replastering as standard or will I have to ask? I wish to remove most things and start fresh with the house, I even want new skirting boards and possibly new central heating system. If anyone has ideas on the best way forwards with this project then please advise, my main concern is I want the internal walls sorted and then I can decorate myself. Thanks
