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.
