Plasterers in Alton: Homeowners vs Renters

Homeowners:

You’re usually responsible for any plastering jobs in your property. Before hiring, check if any permissions or Building Regs apply, especially for older homes or listed buildings. Always get a written quote and clarify what’s included.

Renters:

If something’s damaged (like a cracked ceiling), report it to your landlord or letting agent first. You’ll need permission before hiring someone yourself, especially for anything structural. We recommend sharing our plastering cost guide with your landlord if cost is a concern.
