Most economical option:
The price of having spachtelputz applied is lowest if the plasterer plasters the walls. For an area of 30 m2 of walls, you pay an average of £480.
Average option:
Having spachtelputz applied to a ceiling is slightly more expensive because it is a trickier area. If you want spachtelputz on a 30 m2 ceiling, you will pay an average of £600.
Plaster per hour:
You also have the option of hiring a plasterer by the hour, which you do for smaller projects, for example. A plasterer costs between £20 and £60 per hour. With large projects, it is difficult to estimate how long the project will take, so you do not know exactly what you will have to pay at the end. Then it is more convenient to opt for a price per m2.
How does the price structure of plastering look like?
The prices of having plastering putty applied are structured as follows:
What choices determine the plastering price?
How high the price will be for having spachtelputz applied in your situation depends on your answer to the following 4 choices.
Choice 1: Where do you want to have spachtelputz applied?
In addition to the price difference in having spachtelputz applied to walls and ceilings, the price is also determined by hard-to-reach areas. For example, does the plasterer have to apply plaster on round or crooked walls? Then the price per m2 goes up. On average, the application of spachtelputz on walls costs between £ 12 and £ 18 per m2. Do you have an awkward spot that needs plastering? Then expect the price to be more like £ 18 per m2.
Choice 2: How big is the surface that you have plastered with spachtelputz?
The size of the surface that needs plastering determines the price per m2. Did you know that it is cheaper to have a large area plastered than a small one? If you have a wall of 100 m2 plastered, you are more likely to be at £12 per m2 and if you have a wall of 30 m2 plastered, the price is more likely to be at £18 per m2. This is because it is more efficient for the plasterer to apply the plaster in one go to larger areas.
Choice 3: Do it yourself or outsource?
You can save on plaster costs by doing the plastering yourself, but applying plaster is a tricky project if you don’t have experience and good materials. A plasterer has the experience and materials to deliver quality work. Take into consideration that you have to look at it every day, do you dare to take on the challenge yourself?
Choice 4: Additional options
The following additional options don’t apply to every project , but they might apply to yours. Check these so that you are not shocked when extra costs are added.
| Product | Average price, incl. VAT | When? |
|---|---|---|
| Applying a thin layer of plaster under Spachtelputz | £ 12 – £ 20 per m2 | Does your wall have irregularities and holes? Then first apply a thin layer of plaster so that the wall is even before applying the spachtelputz. |
| Starting rate | £ 290 – £ 320 | If the area to be plastered is very small, a starting rate is often set. A starting rate is usually charged for areas under 30 m2. The price does not include materials. |
