5 pages, about 7 days and £495 fixed: that is a plasterer’s website with us. Unlike gas, electrics or re-roofing, plastering has no government competent person scheme, so no single registration number proves you are good; your site has to do that with photos, reviews and the cards you already hold. Here is how to make that case quickly.
How much does a plasterer’s website cost?
£495 for our Starter build, the best-value option for most plasterers: one to five pages, custom design, a mobile-first layout, basic SEO, a contact form and hosting set up for you. ($625 if you trade in the US.) Five pages is usually right: home, services, finished work, trade and builder enquiries, contact. Rendering, coving, screeding and dry lining are each searched separately, so a firm offering all of them may want the room of our Business package: £1,495, 15 pages, a CMS, two to three weeks. Both are fixed before we start; compare them on the packages page or against the market in our UK website cost guide.
Does a plasterer need to be registered to advertise online?
No. The government’s list of competent person schemes covers work such as gas appliances, electrical installations, roof coverings, replacement windows and insulation; plastering is not on it (GOV.UK, checked October 2026). You can advertise freely. The flip side is that customers have no official badge to look for, so the trust signals you choose matter more than they do for a plumber or electrician. Use the ones you can back up:
- Your CSCS card type (see below), which is checkable.
- Your qualification level, for example NVQ Level 2 or 3 in plastering.
- Public liability insurance, stated with the amount.
- TrustMark registration, if you hold it.
Should a plasterer show their CSCS card on their website?
Yes, especially if you want subcontract work from builders and main contractors. CSCS cards provide proof that people working on UK construction sites have the training and qualifications for their job, and you may be refused entry to a site without the right card. The Blue Skilled Worker card is for those with an NVQ or SVQ Level 2 or an approved apprenticeship; the Gold Skilled Worker card is for Level 3 (CSCS, checked October 2026). A line such as “Gold CSCS card holder, NVQ Level 3” tells a site manager in seconds that you can start on Monday. CSCS also runs a card verification service, so say the card can be checked.
What should a plasterer’s website include?
Photographs that show the finish. A freshly skimmed wall photographed head-on under a ceiling light looks like nothing; the same wall shot from the side with daylight raking across it shows how flat it is. Beyond that:
- Two ways in: a quote form for homeowners and a short “trade enquiries” section for builders and kitchen or bathroom fitters who need a plasterer on call.
- The jobs you do and the ones you don’t: skimming, boarding, artex covering, rendering, lime work, ceilings.
- Reviews that mention the room and the town, which helps both trust and local ranking.
- Your working area, named town by town.
Do plasterers need a website if most work comes from builders?
Yes, a small one at least. Builders who haven’t used you before will look you up, and a clean five-page site with your card, insurance and finished work is a better first impression than a social media page. It also catches the homeowners who search “plasterer near me” directly. Our local SEO guide explains how to be found, every site we build is mobile-first, and if your phone is quieter than your skills deserve, read the signs a website is costing you customers.
