How to judge a plasterer / drywaller

Independent, no-ads guidance — the trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Check if they hold a British Gypsum Certified Plasterer accreditation — the only independent scheme that tests workmanship and requires public liability insurance.
  • Look for FMB or TrustMark membership, since plastering has no legal licence requirement and anyone can legally call themselves a plasterer.
  • Ask to see photos of finished walls and ceilings — for a finish trade, visual proof of smooth, crack-free work is the strongest signal you have.
  • If your home is listed or in a conservation area, confirm they have worked with lime plaster — using gypsum on an old solid wall can trap moisture and breach listed-building consent.

Warning signs of a cowboy

  • A cash-only quote with no written specification of coats, prep, or finish standard leaves you with no comeback if it cracks.
  • A large upfront deposit for a short 1–3 day job is a common pattern among rogue traders who take the money and disappear.
  • No photos of previous work and vague claims like 'years of experience' with nothing to back them up.
  • Pressure to start immediately without a signed quote — plastering is a planned job, not an emergency, so urgency is a red flag.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Are you British Gypsum Certified, FMB, or TrustMark registered — and can I verify it online?
  • What mix and product will you use, and is that right for my wall type (solid brick, plasterboard, or lime)?
  • Can you show me finished work from a recent similar job — a full replaster or skim coat?
  • If we are doing a loft conversion or extension, are you specifying fire-rated and acoustic-rated board to meet building regulations?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy plasterer / drywaller?
Compare the public evidence on each profile — how many independent reviews they have and across how many named platforms, the rating and how recent it is, any verified credentials, and the company record. A plasterer / drywaller backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one with a single listing.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend plasterers / drywallers for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Plasterers / drywallers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence — no one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review platforms and always shown with the source named — they aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a plasterer / drywaller?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the plasterer / drywaller, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence — it doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
