Plastering Service London

The size of the area, existing condition, preparation, ceilings, materials and access all affect the quote. Start with our price calculator and London cost guide; send photos and your postcode for a quotation based on the work.

It depends on whether the room needs a simple skim, repairs, new boarding or full replastering. Preparation and drying are separate from time spent applying plaster. Tell us which walls and ceilings are involved so we can discuss a realistic schedule. See more planning questions.

Wait until the plaster is fully dry, rather than relying on a fixed number of days. Thickness, temperature, ventilation and the background change drying time. Ask for guidance on the materials used and follow your paint maker’s instructions before decorating. Read the drying guide.

Skimming gives a smooth finish over a suitable, stable background. Loose, hollow, crumbling or badly damaged plaster can need repairs, removal, a base coat or boarding first. Compare the options and send photos of the problem areas.

Ceilings can be skimmed, repaired or boarded depending on their condition. Tell us about cracks, stains and any textured coating. Older coatings should be assessed before they are disturbed, because some may contain asbestos. Read the ceiling guide.

Tell us about fixed furniture, electrical fittings, access and surfaces that need protection. Remove small belongings from the work area where possible; we can discuss the remaining preparation and what is included in the quote. Send your job details.

A new plaster finish will not stop an active moisture source. Leaks, condensation or recurring damp should be investigated before choosing a treatment or replastering. Learn about damp protection.

Send your postcode, the rooms involved, a wide photograph of each surface and close-ups of damage. We can confirm coverage and discuss whether a visit is needed before agreeing the scope. Contact Plastering Service London.
