In short: Plastering costs depend on whether walls just need skimming or a full replaster, the total wall and ceiling area, how much preparation is needed (removing old plaster, boarding ceilings), access and local labour rates. London prices are usually higher than elsewhere. Get several written quotes and check what's included, such as removing waste and protecting floors. Use our estimator with your own quotes to plan. Fraser Bond arranges trusted trades for landlords we manage for.
