Example plasterer job briefs

  • Skim a through-lounge (roughly 7 m long) after removing a chimney breast; the opening needs boarding first.
  • Repair cracked ceiling plaster in a bedroom and skim the whole ceiling.
  • Board and skim a loft room's sloping ceilings after insulation is fitted.

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

Access and logistics to mention

  • Is there space to park close by for loading boards and plaster bags?
  • Is the job upstairs or in a loft, and how will long boards get up there?
  • Is the structural work (for example, chimney removal) already signed off before plastering?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front

  • If structural work is involved, plastering should follow it, not be quoted as part of it unless agreed.
  • Ceiling cracks can return if the cause (movement, leaks) isn't fixed; ask what the plasterer thinks caused them.

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.
