When trying to find a good plasterer it is essential to take your time and choose wisely is there are thousands of plasterers in London to choose from. A quick look on Google maps in my postcode catchment there are at least 30, two who live in the same street and believe it or not 10 doors away from each other.

So how do we separate the good from the bad? How do we find the smooth surfacer amongst the rough diamonds? The first thing you should do is ask the plasterer if he has anybody who could recommend recent work undertaken. Ensure it's not a friend or family member ask for somebody neutral maybe their last customer would be happy to comment. Ask to see some evidence of previous plastering works whether it be a small skimming job or a whole house most plasterers will have pictures of work they have carried out before.

Do they have a website? Have a look at their website, most plastering companies especially in London will have their own website showcasing their work. Read any recommendations carefully to ascertain whether they are true or made up recommendations. Some companies have been known to make up their own testimonials, not just in the plastering industry but all industries.

Do they have a Google maps account? Do they have a Google listing of all maybe Google places account as it is now called? A recent survey suggested that most people looking for a service will look that's whether the company has any comments good or bad associated with it. The beauty of Google maps is that people, customers, clients etc. can write comments and feedback about their experience with in this case their plastering company.

How long has the company been established? As with any business or trade it is important that the company has been around for quite a while as experience, especially in the plastering or skimming game, is essential.

Does the company have its own sign written vans? Most decent respectable plastering companies will have at least one sign written van in good working order. The last thing you need is to take on a plasterer with no transportation other than public transport or a van which is likely to breakdown outside your house.

Does the plastering company you are dealing with have to cover the cost of any damage to your property? Make sure you see some form of insurance which is up-to-date. Never let the company start work without it.

Does the company offer free quotations? Nearly all plastering companies will offer a free quotation but do not ask for one unless you are really considering getting the work done in the near future.
