Example plasterer job briefs

  • Skim kitchen walls after old tiles are removed, with damaged areas built up first.
  • Plaster a new doorway reveal and make good around a new internal door frame.
  • Overboard and skim a living-room ceiling once any textured coating has been assessed.

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

Access and logistics to mention

  • Will the kitchen still be in use during the work, and does dust need sealing off from other rooms?
  • Is there a driveway, or will the van park on the road?
  • Are tiles already removed, or should the plasterer price for removal too?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front

  • Walls under removed tiles often need more preparation than expected; ask for this to be priced separately.
  • Textured ceilings may contain asbestos — get them surveyed or tested by a competent person before anyone drills, sands or scrapes.

Comparing quotes

  • 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?

What to include in your job post

  • 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.
