What plasterers do

Plasterers create the smooth, paint-ready surfaces inside your home and the weatherproof render outside. Internally they skim over old walls or new plasterboard; externally they apply sand-and-cement or modern silicone renders. It's a genuine skill — a good plasterer leaves a flat, blemish-free finish that makes every other trade's work look better.

How to hire well

  • Good plasterers are booked weeks ahead — plan around their availability.
