How does the price breakdown of clay plastering look
What choices affect the price?
Find out which 4 choices affect the total price for clay plaster.
Choice 1: To hire a plasterer or not
Doubting whether to hire a plasterer? Then take a look at the following 3 points first and then make your decision.
- Plastering is very specialised work that requires experience and the right materials at your disposal. When hiring a plasterer, you have the assurance of a beautiful result. The plasterer can also provide you with personal advice you might not have come up with yourself.
- With little or no experience in plastering, it is a time-consuming job. Because you work less quickly and efficiently without experience, the plaster dries too quickly, leaving the wall more uneven than when a plasterer plasters the wall at a fast pace.
- What you also have to take into account is that plastering is physically demanding work.
Choice 2: Ceiling plastering with clay plaster
The clay plaster price depends on what you have plastered. If you choose to plaster the bathroom ceiling or the living room walls, the costs are very different. When plastering a ceiling, you pay more because a ceiling is more difficult to plaster because of the corners and height. When plastering more difficult areas, the price per m2 goes up. For a good indication, it is smart to look at the highest price in the table. So think £25 per m2 rather than £9 per m2.
Choice 3: Additional option
With clay plaster, there are a number of additional options that the plasterer can pick up for you.
| Service | Average price, incl. VAT | When? |
|---|---|---|
| Sanding | £ 15 – £ 25 per m2 | If you want a nice shadow effect on your ceiling, for example, choose sanding. The plasterer works with a sanding sponge with which he applies a sandy surface to the ceiling in rotating movements. |
| £ 15 – £ 30 per m2 | If you have walls or ceilings that are too rough, have a layer of plaster mortar applied as a base for other forms and plasterwork. A layer of rendering is between 5 and 7 mm thick. |
