# The quote app for plasterers

Updated 1 October 2026 · UK rules · Not tax advice: check anything unusual with your accountant.

Skims, re-plasters, boarding and rendering are usually priced by the room or the square metre. BrewQuote does the maths and sends a clean quote while you're still on the job.

## Quote a plasterer job by voice

Say something like this into BrewQuote:

🎙 “Skim the living room walls and ceiling, board and skim the hallway ceiling, and beads and materials.”

And it writes a quote like this, using the prices in your own price list:

| Line | Type | Qty | Price | VAT | Amount |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Skim living room walls and ceiling | labour | 1 | £650.00 | 20% | **£650.00** |
| Board and skim hallway ceiling | labour | 1 | £380.00 | 20% | **£380.00** |
| Plasterboard, beads and plaster | materials | 1 | £180.00 | 20% | **£180.00** |
| **Subtotal** | **£1,210.00** |
| VAT | £242.00 |
| **Total for a VAT-registered plasterer** | **£1,452.00** |

Example prices for illustration only. BrewQuote uses your own rates.

## VAT, reverse charge and CIS for plasterers

If you're under the £90,000 VAT registration threshold and not registered, you don't charge VAT, and BrewQuote says so clearly on the quote.

Plastering is construction work under CIS. As a subcontractor, the contractor deducts 20% from your labour (30% if you're not CIS registered), and BrewQuote shows what you'll be paid.

If you are VAT registered and working for a VAT and CIS-registered contractor, the domestic reverse charge usually applies.

## Frequently asked questions

Can I price by the square metre?

Yes. Set a per-m² rate in your price list and say the area. BrewQuote multiplies it out.

Do I need to be VAT registered?

Only if your VAT-taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in a rolling 12 months. Below that, registering is optional.

Does BrewQuote work offline?

You can build quotes without signal. Sending and voice drafting need a connection.
