Plasterers in Billingham: common questions

How much does plastering cost in Billingham?

Skimming a standard room typically runs £300 to £500 across Teesside, with full boarding and skimming of a whole house running into the low thousands. Day rates are usually £150 to £250. Small patch repairs are often done on a half day rate.

How long before I can paint new plaster?

Fresh skim needs four to seven days to dry in normal conditions, longer in winter or on thick backing coats. Paint it too early and you seal moisture in, which shows as patches and peeling. Start with a mist coat, watered down emulsion, before the finish coats.

Do I need plastering or can it be patched?

Patch repairs work for localised damage, but if walls are blown, hollow sounding or crazed throughout, a reskim is usually better value than chasing cracks. A decent plasterer will tell you honestly which your walls need rather than quoting for the bigger job by default.
