Different types of plastering
As you have seen in the overview above, there are different types of plastering. When looking for a cheap plasterer, it is therefore also important to look at the type of plaster. This is because the type of plastering has the biggest impact on the level of costs. Study the following types of plastering below:
- Spacking: Spackling is widely used because it is the cheapest type of plastering. This is because of the method, as spackle plaster is sprayed on the walls using a sprayer. The plastering is sprayed on the walls with a grain structure and all colours are possible.
- Emire plaster:Emire plaster is used as a decorative finish on walls and ceilings. There are different textures, from granular to completely smooth, something for everyone. What is also very advantageous with decorative plaster is that the desired colour is applied directly during plastering. So there is no need to paint the walls or ceiling after plastering. This saves money. Decorative plaster includes, among others, spachtelputz, rustic plaster and marmor plaster.
- Rap and plaster: Looking for an inexpensive plasterer who can plaster the walls evenly so that you can then paint the walls in your desired colour? Then make use of raking and plastering. With plaster, a layer of plaster of about 6 mm is plastered on the walls so that the uneven surface becomes completely smooth.
Tips for finding a cheap plasterer
Would you like to have your house plastered by a reliable plasterer, but not pay too much? Read these tips that will help in your search for a cheap plasterer.
- Stuccessor as a freelancer: Choose a plasterer who works as a freelancer. A big company often charges higher prices because they have many costs besides the service, such as renting the premises. A freelancer usually works from home which keeps costs as low as possible and you only pay for the service.
- Look at reviews or ask for experiences of people you know: In addition, it is useful to search the internet for reviews on plasterers. This usually lets you find out quickly whether the value for money is right and what the prices are approximately. Of course, you can also ask for experiences within your own circles. Opinions of those you know feel confidential and will give you all the information you want to know.
- Take advantage of low VAT: If your property is more than two years old, you may be lucky because a VAT rate of 9% is charged instead of 21%. The low VAT rate applies to both the materials and the plasterer’s labour costs. For example, if you want to plaster a 50 m2 wall with decorative plaster, instead of paying £160 you will only pay £45 in VAT.
