Example plasterer job briefs
- Skim two bedroom walls (about 3.5 m × 2.4 m each) after removing old wallpaper; one wall has hairline cracks above the window.
- Re-board and skim a hallway ceiling after a leak from the bathroom above, which is now fixed and dry.
- Patch three socket chases after a rewire and skim the whole kitchen-diner wall so the repairs don't show.
Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.
Access and logistics to mention
- Is there parking outside, or on a shared estate road or parking court where a van may need to load briefly?
- Will rooms be empty, or does furniture need covering or moving out first?
- Is water and a power socket available in or near the room for mixing?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- If a ceiling has a textured coating, ask for it to be surveyed or tested for asbestos by a competent person before any work, and priced separately.
- Fresh plaster takes days to dry; agree when decorating can start so a painter isn't booked too early.
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.
