What Is Plastering?
Plastering is the process of covering walls and ceilings with a protective and decorative coat of plaster. It involves preparing the surface by cleaning and applying bonding agents to ensure the plaster adheres effectively.
At DC Painters, we apply plaster to create smooth finishes that are both aesthetically pleasing and durable. Our skilled craftsmen use techniques like skimming, which involves applying a thin coat of plaster, and float and set, a method where thicker layers are built up with a base coat followed by a fine finish.
We tailor these techniques to the specific material and condition of your surfaces, whether dealing with brick, concrete, or drywall.
This process not only improves appearance but also enhances insulation by adding thermal mass to walls, reducing heat loss. Additionally, the dense nature of plaster contributes to effective soundproofing, thereby improving the overall quality of your building structure.

How Much Does Plastering Cost?
Plastering services cost around £20 to £40 per square metre. Prices can vary depending on the surface area, the complexity of the work, and the type of plaster used.
For instance, using Venetian plaster, which offers a polished marble-like finish, can increase the price due to its intricate application technique. Moreover, the cost will be influenced by whether the job requires traditional lime plaster or modern gypsum plaster, as lime is more labour-intensive.
Smaller projects, such as ceiling repairs or patchwork, may be priced on an hourly basis rather than per square metre. The presence of challenging features, like curved surfaces or decorative mouldings, will also affect the overall cost.
