Example plasterer job briefs

Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.

Is the property older, and do you know whether walls are solid brick or cavity? Mention it — it changes which plaster is suitable.
Is off-road parking available, or will materials be carried from the street?
Are there any days or times when work can't happen, such as school runs or shift work at home?

Older solid walls may need breathable materials; ask the plasterer what they suggest and why.
Insulated drylining reduces room size slightly and may mean moving sockets and window boards.

Is it a skim over sound plaster, or a full re-plaster with removal of old material? These are priced very differently.
Textured coatings (such as artex) may contain asbestos. They should be surveyed or tested by a competent person before anyone disturbs them, and the safe method that results should be quoted separately.
Who protects floors and removes waste, and is waste removal included?
How long before the plaster is dry enough to mist-coat and paint?

Which rooms and surfaces: walls, ceilings or both, with rough sizes in metres.
The current finish: sound but tired, cracked, blown (hollow when tapped), textured, or bare board.
Whether coving, sockets, radiators or skirting need taking off and refitting.
Photos in daylight, including any damp marks or cracks you are unsure about.
