Plasterer — Professionals
Plastering enquiries suit providers whose materials and finishing experience match the background and desired result. Establish whether the task requires base work, a skim or an exterior system, and clarify repairs that must precede the finish.
Service scope
Preparation and finishing of walls or ceilings with a specified plaster or render system. The service covers an agreed background, base or finishing layer and required appearance; interior skimming, exterior rendering and repairs are identified separately within the trade rather than assumed to be interchangeable.
What is normally included
- Assessment of backgrounds for plaster finishes
- Specified base and finishing coats
- Agreed wall, ceiling or render repairs
What is not included
- Structural correction concealed beneath new plaster
- Automatic treatment of unresolved damp or hazardous coatings
Qualification checks
- Identify background materials
- Check loose or contaminated areas
- Confirm internal or external exposure
- Define edge and junction details
- Agree finish and decoration handover
Quote guidance
Specify what is being prepared and coated, with separate allowances for defective backgrounds and unusual details. Explain when the area is ready for inspection and what remains the decorator or another trade's responsibility.
Lead risks
- Unmeasured repairs can expand a nominal skim job
- Different expectations of finish can create avoidable disputes
