- State the number of walls or ceilings and approximate sizes

Do not disturb an unknown textured coating
Some older textured coatings and other building materials can contain asbestos. Age and appearance do not confirm whether asbestos is present. Avoid sanding, scraping, drilling or removing a suspect surface until appropriate advice and, where needed, sampling has established what it is.
Also investigate and resolve active damp or leaks before covering the symptoms with new plaster.
Read the textured coating guidanceThe cause matters before the finish
A stained or damaged ceiling may follow a roof leak, plumbing escape, movement or failed previous repair. The underlying cause and the substrate condition need attention before a lasting finish can be assessed.
Explain whether the area is dry, when the damage occurred and whether other trades have completed their work. Do not assume that every crack is merely cosmetic.
Understand ceiling enquiries
Before you request a quotation
No. This website is an independent information and enquiry service. It may introduce an enquiry to an independent plastering business, but does not claim to employ the person carrying out the work.
Photographs and dimensions can help, but they may not reveal loose backgrounds, access issues, damp, preparation or the full condition of a surface. The independent business decides whether it can quote remotely or needs to inspect.
Drying depends on thickness, background, ventilation, temperature and humidity. The contractor should provide job-specific advice. New plaster should be fully dry and prepared with a paint system suitable for fresh plaster.
Not when its composition is unknown. Some older coatings can contain asbestos. Avoid disturbing it and obtain competent advice before sanding, scraping, drilling or removal.
