What Affects the Cost?

Plasterer pricing in Farnborough depends on surface condition (whether walls need preparation or hacking off old plaster), job scale and complexity, material specifications (standard gypsum vs. specialist renders), and access difficulty. New build work typically costs less than renovation projects with uneven or damaged surfaces. Local labour costs in the South East are 25-30% above the UK average. Materials like bonding agents and finishing compounds vary in cost. Turnaround time and project scheduling also influence quotations.

Money-Saving Tips

Get multiple quotes to compare pricing and expertise. Prepare walls thoroughly before plastering to reduce additional labour. Bundle related work (plastering, decoration, repairs) to negotiate better day rates. Clear site access and have materials on-hand to minimise delays and call-out charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do plasterers charge by the square metre?

Square metre pricing accounts for surface area covered and prep work required. It's more accurate than hourly rates for large, consistent jobs and helps customers compare quotes fairly across different plasterers.

What's the difference between plastering and skimming?

Plastering applies a full new coat to bare surfaces or heavily damaged walls (typically 8-12mm). Skimming is a thin finish coat (2-5mm) applied over existing sound plaster for a smooth, decorator-ready surface. Skimming is usually cheaper and faster.

Are there extra charges for difficult access or high walls?

Yes. Work above 3.5m, loft conversions, stairwells, and confined spaces often incur 10-20% surcharges due to scaffolding, safety equipment, and reduced productivity. Discuss access conditions when requesting quotes.

How long does interior plastering typically take?

A typical bedroom (20m²) takes 1-2 days. Larger spaces or multiple rooms require longer. Drying time between coats (24-48 hours) adds calendar time but isn't charged labour. Rush jobs may incur premium rates.
