Start with the right experience
Look for work that resembles your own project. A specialist in traditional lime work and a contractor who fits plasterboard partitions may offer very different services. Read the service list, ask for recent examples and confirm that the plasterer covers your address.
Check the details yourself
Ask for relevant qualifications, current insurance information and references. Directory account verification is not the same as a trade qualification or approval by a manufacturer. Check any claimed membership directly with the organisation that issued it.
Compare written quotations
Give each contractor the same description, photos and approximate measurements. Ask them to separate preparation, materials, labour, access equipment and waste removal. Confirm whether tax is included and how variations will be agreed.
Agree the work before it starts
Record the finish, rooms covered, protection of your belongings, working hours, payment stages and arrangements for making good. Ask for drying and decoration advice specific to the materials used.
