What determines your price?
You get the exact price for your job after the site visit. We then look at, among other things:
- the surface: concrete, plasterboard, old plaster or a wall with old paint or texture;
- the height: a normal room, or a void and stairwell;
- whether it is a wall, a ceiling or a sloping attic ceiling;
- how many m² it is.
And the VAT?
The prices on this website are without VAT. Which VAT rate applies to your home is stated on the quote.

Why we simply state the price
You should know in advance what you will pay. With plastering, that is often not the case.
No amount until he is in your home
Many plasterers only name a price after a visit. Until then you cannot plan or compare anything.
Every quote calculates differently
One charges per m², another per hour or per job. Three quotes side by side then tell you little.
What is not included
Masking, priming or materials are not in the quote, and get added later.
