What a plastering job covers
We don’t lead with plastering, we do it because almost every roof leak we fix needs the ceiling making good afterwards. Same crew, same trip, no second contractor to chase. Internal skims, external sand-cement render, and traditional lath repair on heritage property.
Strip of failed plaster back to sound substrate
Bonding coat on walls, browning on overhead
Exterior sand-cement scratch and float coat
Painting and decorating coordinated as separate quote
Lath repair or PIB board replacement where lath has failed
Two-coat finish skim with fine multi-finish
Sponge-finish or smooth as specified
Below is our price guide

Single ceiling reskims sit lower; full walls-and-ceilings or external render runs higher. Area, substrate, heritage detail and trade coordination all matter. Different firms land in different places too — larger outfits carry overhead a small local team doesn’t, so we can usually be more competitive on this kind of follow-on plastering work.
Area. m² of wall and ceiling drives material and labour.
Substrate. Lath repair and re-plaster well above bonding-and-skim.
Number of trades. Coordination with electrician for downlights.
Heritage detail. Matching cornice and dado work is specialist.
External weather. Sand-cement render needs dry days for cure.
