What affects the cost of plastering & rendering in London?
Every home is different, so we price each job individually after a free site visit. These are the main things that shape your quote:
- The area to be plastered, and whether it’s a skim or a full re-plaster
- The condition of the existing surface and any removal of old plaster or textured coatings
- Ceilings, stairwells and access
- Plasterboarding, stud walls or insulation
- For render, the wall area, scaffolding and choice of finish

Questions about plastering & rendering
How long should new plaster dry before painting?
A fresh skim usually needs around a week in good conditions, and longer in cold or damp weather. It’s ready when it’s an even pale pink with no darker patches. The first coat should be a mist coat – diluted emulsion – so the paint bonds properly.
Can you plaster over Artex?
Usually, yes. Textured coatings applied before 2000 may contain asbestos, so we recommend a test before any sanding or scraping. Skimming over the top is often the cleanest and safest solution.
Do you render the outside of houses?
Yes. We apply and repair external render on houses, extensions and garden walls, and can paint it afterwards.
