Hi there 1 man 1 day to plaster a room that’s basic if it’s a larger room then maybe a second visit

Ali · Answer

"A standard room usually takes around 1 to 2 days to plaster, depending on the condition of the walls after wallpaper removal. If preparation is minimal, it can be done in 1 full day. We provide high-quality plastering that doesn’t need sanding – it’s ready for painting as soon as it’s dry."

It would take 1 to 2 days depending on size. Also if the background is smooth it will need a mechanical key as well as chemical, so pva would not be good enough when you paint it will flake off you need a plastering stabiliser such as blue grit or green grit.

one day in total, thats including the removal of the wallpaper, prep work, 2 coats of plaster. if there is extensive damage and there is large repairs, plasterboard replacement or if the room is very large this can still be done in a day but will require more labour and would increase the cost.

Depends on a few things. How big is the room. Is it just walls or ceiling included. Does plaster need cut back to brick. Is room empty.  Etc

Alan · Answer

Depends on the size of the room, condition of the walls behind the paper, how many layers of paper and how stubborn it is, if any bonding is required & if the rooms needs emptied prior to plastering - few days worst case scenario

Jay · Answer

If wallpaper off before, 1 day as it's just an over skim, not everyone is the same but I'd put celling on the 2 walls then final 2 walls catching the odd bits in each gage so not making extra mix

1-2 days work for a pro plasterer max including all prep work
