Compare plasterers by price

You do it when buying a new fridge, taking out health insurance and with your weekly shopping: compare prices. It is so integrated into our daily routine that we often don’t even notice it anymore. Even for plastering your home, it is advisable to compare prices. If you have been looking for a plasterer before, you know that prices vary considerably. Make smart use of the large selection of plasterers and see which professional offers you the best price. The price difference between plasterers can be as much as 40 per cent. For example, one specialist might charge £500 for plastering a wall while another plasterer in your area might only charge £300. By comparing prices, you can be sure that you are not paying too much. The most efficient way to compare prices and plasterers is by requesting no-obligation quotations.

Compare plasterers based on quality

In addition to the price, it is important to compare plasterers based on quality. If you have the plastering done by a professional then you expect quality. It is a waste to spend a lot of money on plastering that is not finished properly. We give you 3 tips to help you find a quality plasterer.

• Check if the plasterer has quality marks
  Check the website of the plasterer to see if they have quality marks. There are several quality marks for plasterers that give you more security in terms of quality, expertise and guarantee. So pay attention to this when you start comparing plasterers. Important quality marks for plasterers are:
  – NOA-Afbouwgarantie: The NOA-Afbouwgarantie has drawn up consumer conditions in consultation with the Consumers’ Association and the Home Owners’ Association. These conditions set out the rights and obligations of both client and contractor. This quality mark offers you as a consumer a guarantee and shows where you stand when you take your chance with a plasterer with this quality mark.
  – Stuckeur (also called Afbouwkeur): Stuckeur is a quality mark for a quality standard that is tested periodically. A Stuckeur-approved company has guaranteed up-to-date knowledge and applies market-based prices.
• Inquire about the warranty terms
  Find out about the warranty period and terms used by the plasterer. Guarantee on plastering means that there should be no loose layers. Cracks in plaster do not have a warranty in some cases, this is because houses (especially new builds) can still work out. On average, a 5-year warranty is offered on interior plastering and 3 years on exterior plastering. By creating good conditions, you ensure that you enjoy your beautiful, plastered walls for as long as possible.
• Read reviews
  A good way of comparing plasterers is to look for plasterers’ reviews on the internet. Reviews are very useful to find out how high quality the plasterer delivers. If many positive reviews can be found, you can assume that the plasterer is doing a good job.

Advantages of engaging a plasterer
