- Can the plasterer access the room without passing through finished, carpeted areas?
- Will someone be home to let them in each day?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- New extension walls and old walls dry at different rates; a joint between them may need beading or care.
- Removing woodchip can pull off weak plaster beneath — allow for extra repairs.
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.
