Local Insight
London plasterers charge £200–£350 per day. A standard room skim takes about half a day for an experienced plasterer. Many London properties have lath-and-plaster walls that need careful handling — not all plasterers are experienced with this, so ask specifically if you have a period property. Drying time is typically 2–4 days before painting.
