> Lime plastering prices in Winchester: what the job involves, what the price includes and what changes it.

## What the price includes

Lime plastering covers the coats needed to build the wall to a finish.
Published from £550.

### Included
- Checking the wall and preparing the surface
- Scratch and floating coats in lime
- A finishing coat trowelled by hand
- Edges and reveals finished neatly

### Priced separately

## What changes the price of lime plastering

The price depends on the wall area, the number of coats and the condition of the wall behind.
- Lime goes on in several coats with drying time between them, so it takes longer than gypsum plaster.
- Uneven stone or brick walls need more material to level.
