How Much Do Heritage Plastering Services Cost?
Heritage plastering services typically cost from around £25 to £45 per m², depending on the complexity and style of the plasterwork. This price can vary based on the choice between traditional lime plasters and modern gypsum options, with lime often being more expensive due to its natural properties and longer curing times.
Lime plasters, such as hydraulic lime, are preferred for their breathability and flexibility, making them suitable for older buildings where maintaining structural integrity is crucial. Gypsum options are ideal for projects requiring a quick turnaround, as they dry faster and are easier to mould for straightforward finishes.
Our quotes consider the particular needs of your project, whether you require restoration work on intricate cornices, detailed ceiling roses, or a fresh, smooth ceiling finish in a contemporary home. For listed or conservation properties, we ensure our methods align with local heritage guidelines and regulations.

How Long Do Heritage Plastering Projects Take?
Most heritage plastering projects take between three to ten days, depending on the size and complexity of the job. Lime plastering, known for its breathability and historical authenticity, may require additional time for proper curing, especially when applied in multiple layers to achieve the desired finish.
Using traditional techniques like float and set or gauged putty can also extend the timeline. Factors such as the intricacy of ornamental features, including cornices and ceiling roses, and the size of the room play a significant role in determining the duration.
