What Affects the Cost?

Key factors affecting plastering costs in Alexandria include surface condition (rough stone walls cost more to prepare), project complexity, material quality, and accessibility. External rendering adds cost due to weather exposure and scaffolding requirements. Room size directly impacts labour time—larger spaces are typically more economical per square metre. Damp remediation or asbestos removal may increase costs. Urgent jobs may attract a premium, whilst scheduled work offers better value.

Money-Saving Tips

Schedule work during quieter periods (autumn/winter) for better rates. Obtain multiple quotes to compare pricing and scope. Bundle related works—combining skimming with rendering often attracts discounts. Clear access and prepare surfaces beforehand to reduce labour time. Building maintenance contracts sometimes offer lower per-job rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do external rendering quotes cost more than internal plastering?

External rendering requires scaffolding, weather-dependent application, specialist renders for Scottish climate exposure, and longer drying times. Labour is also more intensive due to working at height and surface preparation of rougher masonry.

How long does a typical skimming project take in Alexandria?

A single room typically takes 1–2 days depending on size and surface condition. Larger projects or multiple rooms may take longer. Drying time (usually 24 hours) should be added before decorating.

Should I get a plasterer to remove artex or just overskimmed it?

Re-skimming over artex is faster and cheaper (£100–180 per room). Removal costs more but gives a smooth, modern finish. Re-skimming is suitable if artex is well-adhered and you prefer budget savings.

Are scaffolding costs included in rendering quotes?

Usually plasterers quote separately for scaffolding or assume the customer arranges it. Always clarify this when obtaining quotes to avoid hidden costs.
