Is it cheaper to plaster or drywall?

Drywall (also known as drylining) is usually quicker and cheaper than traditional plastering. But plaster gives a smoother, more durable finish. If you’re looking for a flawless look, plastering may be worth the extra cost.

Skimming is a type of plastering. It’s a thin top layer applied to existing plaster or plasterboard to create a smooth finish. Full plastering involves base coats as well, which is often needed for rough or damaged walls.

How do I prepare my room for a plasterer?

Clear the room if you can, or move furniture to the centre and cover it. Remove pictures, curtains, and anything on the walls. Plastering is messy, so the more space they have to work, the better.

How do I find a qualified plasterer for wall skimming?

Plastering and skimming do not require formal qualifications, however you can always check with tradespeople about their training. After searching on Checkatrade and contacting plasterers directly, make sure to ask about any formal qualifications when it comes to wall skimming and other skills.

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.
