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 sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A plasterer / drywaller backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
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 sources 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.
